The town of Enfield, Conn., is reeling after a group of thieves stole massive amounts of prescription drugs from an East Coast distribution facility for Eli Lilly. The thieves cut a hole in the roof of the warehouse and slid down ropes to get inside and left with $75 million worth of pills, including large amounts of anti-depressants.
