Police are investigating a recent string of pharmacy break-ins in the area.

Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department detective Steve Pederson said at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, the near Highway 164 and Main Street was burglarized for narcotic medications. He said the burglars smashed the door of the pharmacy.

Pederson said there was a similar break-in less than an hour earlier in Hartland, and investigators are looking into a possible connection with other pharmacy burglaries in Oconomowoc and Slinger.
