Pharmacy burglars escape after high-speed chase from Mansfield to South Dallas

MANSFIELD, Texas - A group of pharmacy burglars got away from police after hitting up two pharmacies in Tarrant County and leading authorities on a chase through Dallas.

Before their shift Tuesday morning, employees at M&A pharmacy in Arlington were forced to clean up broken glass.

The locally owned pharmacy off Matlock Road was boarded up Tuesday but open for business after an early morning break-in.

Arlington police said just after 5:30 a.m., two men bested out the front door and then kicked in a second door to get inside an office, setting off a security system.

Security video handed over to investigators showed the men couldn’t get the safe open, so they bailed.

Police said some prescriptions were taken before the two men left in a white Chevy Malibu.

Minutes later and just three miles away, Mansfield police were dispatched to a CVS pharmacy on North Walnut Creek Drive at Country Club Drive.

The same description was relayed to officers. Two men who left in a white Chevy Malibu broke the sliding door and tried to steal from the pharmacy.

The back-to-back burglaries sparked a chase across North Texas.

Mansfield officers followed the Malibu into southeast Dallas.

The chase ended at Crozier Street and Elsie Fay Heggins Street after Dallas police joined in and the Malibu crashed.

But the suspects got away on foot.

Mansfield police confirmed they’ve recovered the car, which is a key connection in locating the two suspects.
