Milford police are looking for three people who stole $15,000 worth of narcotics from a pharmacy on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the males went into Rite Aid Pharmacy at 1360 Boston Post Road around 4:24 p.m., jumped over the pharmacy drop-off counter and ordered an employee to open a safe containing narcotics.
The two males then passed the narcotics from the safe to another person who had a large shopping bag, then they walked calmly out of the store and fled in a silver SUV with a white registration plate with blue lettering, police said.
The vehicle was believed to be a newer Buick or Nissan.
