CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - Police say the man accused of stealing pain killers from two Charleston pharmacies allegedly got away with more than 1,000 Oxycontin pills. Charleston Police say they found evidence in 25-year-old Nicholas Swanson's home and car on Folly Beach, linking him to the CVS robberies at Harborview Road and Maybank Highway.
Detectives say in both robberies the suspect clamed to have a gun, but never showed one. Swanson has not yet been linked to a third similar robbery in Mt. Pleasant.
His bond was set at $500,000 Friday afternoon.
