State Police have charged a CVS pharmacy technician with stealing more than $9,000 worth of drugs from the Pembroke store during a three-year period.
Cheryl L. Pascarelli, 45, of 10 Lydon Lane, Halifax, pleaded innocent to larceny of drugs on Wednesday in Plymouth District Court.
Police said Pascarelli stole Vicodin, Valium, Suboxone, antibiotics and antiviral medications and sold them to help pay her bills. A CVS loss-control agent discovered discrepancies when drug orders were matched against sales, police reports state.
Surveillance cameras show Pascarelli opening bottles and pocketing pills, the report states.
In a statement on file in court, Pascarelli says she was struggling financially and had been stealing drugs for about three years. She states that she was selling them to one client. Investigators say the drugs were worth about $9,300.
Pascarelli is due back in court March 9.
