Malverne Police: Criminal Mischief, Not Burglary, At Nordon Drugs

It sure sounds like a targeted action by someone, so I hope all possible names have been brought to the attention of the authorities. Way to get it repaired so quickly Mr. Hoerleine!

This article is incorrect. Keith is NOT the store owner. He is the pharmacist. If the cops were doing their job than how did this happen TWO nights in a row. They have not been patrolling over by Nordons. Even, after they still aren't patrolling. This is just their way of covering up something they failed to prevent.

Douglas DeNardo is the owner of Nordon Drugs, as Angel said, Keith is one of the pharmacists there. The Police failed on this one, even IF it truly was just an act of vandalism and nothing more, given how much news coverage there's been about people trying to rob from pharmacies the MPD should have assumed the worst and kept an eye on the store. Why risk thinking otherwise? Sure, it happened overnight, but it happened twice, and in this day and age where people are willing to kill for drugs, why put the lives of the employees and customers on the line? A one time incident is enough to make people fearful, twice in a row? I personally find that quite frightening. The second one could have been prevented, the party responsible may have even been caught, and the owner wouldn't be out more money for repairs had the police watched the store better. It's a let down, especially when one takes into consideration the fact that the store is responsible for helping so many in this village and nearby areas as well with their medical needs. Shame, MPD, shame.

You are blaming the police for vandalism? You think someone trying to break in to a pharmacy to steal would throw rocks at the front window?

I couldn't agree more with everything that Dissociation said. If they MPD was actually patroling this wouldn not have happened.
Tom, people do desperated things for drugs. I wouldn't put it passed someone.

Someone could throw a rock and be out of sight in less than a minute. The police cannot watch every home and business in Malverne 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
