A well established Norwalk, CA private investigator, Michael Singleton serves as owner of Ironhorse Investigative Services and has achieved a success rate of 95 percent in the criminal and civil cases he has been involved with. Michael Singleton maintains a strong focus on his industry and follows overall statewide crime and law enforcement trends.
As reported in the Sacramento Bee, one troubling California trend involves the increasing rate of pharmacy robberies, including a fourfold increase in the Sacramento suburb Citrus Heights in the past year alone. With a DEA spokeswoman and special agent characterizing the spike as “alarming,” some point to regulatory changes, which have made it more difficult for people to access opioids, as the cause.
With the opioid epidemic ongoing, large bottles of the prescription cough syrup ingredients promethazine and the opioid codeine can retail for $400 to street-level buyers. Dextromethorphan is also used, and has had an 18-and-over CA requirement since 2011 and is now sold from behind pharmacy counters.
These ingredients are often mixed with alcohol to create potent and dangerous drinks. With cough syrup laws seen as necessary in restricting access to dextromethorphan and promethazine, authorities place responsibility on pharmacies to increase security measures to deter theft.
