KANSAS CITY —A suspect faces felony charges in connection with a drug store burglary, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.
George Carter, 23, Kansas City faces Burglary in the 2nd Degree and Property Damage in the 1st Degree.
On September 10, Kansas City police officers responded to the area of 75th and Wornall Road on a reported prowler, according to court records.
Officers arriving on the scene saw a black pickup truck facing north in the pharmacy drive of the store.
The pickup then fled at a high rate of speed through the parking lot. Individuals reportedly were climbing through the drive-thru window. The window glass had been broken. Witnesses also saw them carrying trash bags filled with what they presumed were prescription drugs.
While conducting an area canvass, officers encountered and detained Carter. Officers obtained video from another incident on Sept 10, 2024, which showed a man in the same clothing Carter was observed to be wearing in the drug store burglary. A black truck was the suspect vehicle in both incidents.
Carter remains jailed on a $50,000 bond.
