LIVERMORE FALLS – A bottle containing 50 OxyContin pills, some of the more than 5,000 narcotic pills stolen from Rite Aid on Main Street Sunday, was found and turned over to police Tuesday morning, police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.

Somebody found the bottle on Green Street on Monday and planned to turn it over to their doctor but decided to turn it into police, Steward said.

Green Street abuts one side of the pharmacy property.

The pharmacy was burglarized Sunday morning after a drive-through window in the rear of the store was removed, Steward said on Monday.

Two cabinets were broken into and about $20,000 worth of prescription narcotic pills were taken. The stolen drugs include OxyContin, oxycodone, morphine sulfate, Adderall, methadone and Avinza, he said.

Police arrived within four minutes of the alarm company reporting the alarm at 7:18 a.m. but found no one around. A right side door was ajar.

Steward planned to take evidence collected at the scene to a state crime laboratory in Augusta, he said.

Rangeley police are still waiting for the lab to produce a report on evidence collected at a December break-in at the Rangeley Pharmacy. More than 6,000 narcotic pills were taken in that burglary.

Steward said he is concerned about the amount of pills taken.

“Prescription drugs are the most abused drug there is right now,” Steward said.
