NORTON SHORES, Mich. (WZZM) - Police have arrested a man wanted for stealing drugs from a local pharmacy.

The Watkins Pharmacy on Sherman Boulevard in Norton Shores was broken into Tuesday morning at about 5:30am.  The attached surveillance video captured images of the suspect stealing a large amount of drugs from the business.

Based on tips that came after the video was released to the media, a 34-year-old man formerly from Holton Township was arrested Friday morning at a home in the 1100 block of Sternberg Road.  Police also found a large amount of pharmaceuticals at a local motel room.

The suspect's identity will be released after his arraignment.
