    Default Oxycodone theft? or BS Story?

    Police said the incident began earlier in the day when a 32-year-old man's car broke down in Frederick. Police said he took a cab to a doctor's office in Baltimore County for an appointment.

    According to county police spokeswoman Det. Cathy Batton, the man told police that he then met two strangers, a man and a woman, who offered him a ride to a pharmacy in Glen Burnie, where he filled his prescription for Oxycodone, a narcotic pain medicine.

    The couple then drove the man to Timonium where they picked up an acquaintance. When they stopped in Timonium, the victim got out of the car to retrieve his duffel bag from the trunk, according to the report. There was a struggle and the pills were taken from him.

    Hmmm, Sounds like one heck of a story.

    Sounds to me like someone wanted to double up on their prescription.

    Very strange. How much did the cab ride from Frederick cost? Then going from Timonium to a pharmacy in Glen Burnie?

    No mention of what the prescription was for. Or what these people were promised for their help.

    Oh no,

    This is the detail that you missed:
    "Police: Strangers gave man a ride, stole 112 Oxycodone..."

    112 ?that's over 3 months supply. Who subscribes that amount of Oxycodone at one time?

    I can't find any follow up info but I still think this was a fake crime.

    I think you're right.
