Generic drugmaker Actavis suffered a full truckload (FTL) cargo theft on October 19, 2011, losing more than 30 pallets of opioid analgesics, benzodiazepines and epilepsy drugs.

The thieves made off with 14 pallets of oxycodone HCl tablets (around 70,000 units), six pallets of anxiety drug alprazolam (around 24,000 units) and nine pallets of the epilepsy drug gabapentin (about 5,000 units). The estimated value of the haul has not yet been released.

(I searched around for a while to see if this was posted before, but I don't see it. Sorry if it's a double post and I hope it's in the correct format.)
 
Whoever did this knew what the fuck they were doing. Wonder if they will ever find out who is responsible. Whoever it was I'm sure it was at least 10 people involved directly, god knows how many indirectly. 70k units of Oxycodone hcl....what a fuckibg haul.

This is one of those *dream* heists... the street value is ridiculous! I can't even imagine... the truck driver, knowing what his truck contained, left his truck running to go into a store to buy a pack of cigarettes??? I wonder if there were criminal charges brought against him!
 
I believe this happened a couple of hours to where I live. I never seen a follow up story to this..........its probably still an on going investigation.
 
Driver had to be in on it. That is a massive score. . . I wonder why there aren't more hijackings of trucks delivering drugs to pharmacies. It would be easy to figure out when they are delivered and I doubt they have armed guards riding with the deliveries. Fucking A, PALLETS of oxy. . . When they say 70 thousand units I wonder if they mean 70 thousand pills or 70 thousand containers/bottles of pills. I suspect it is bottles. Which would make it 70k x 100 pills at least what is that like 7 million pills?
