Police in Fort Mill were called by Walgreens corporate offices around 3:20 a.m. Monday after alarms sounded, according to a Fort Mill Police Department report.

When police looked at camera footage, officers saw two men climbing through the drive-through window and stealing narcotics and pain medications. A third man was seen on camera slamming the broken drive-through window to try and make the opening larger.

The drugs were tossed into garbage bags and the men fled, the report said.
