An end to oxycotin production in Ontario has provincial police in the Rainy River district taking action to deal with possible repercussions.Increases in theft, break-ins and overdoses have been noted elsewhere.
Constable Anne McCoy says their work here includes talking with area pharmacies who may be potential targets.
McCoy says police are also watching for illegal shipments of the drug coming from areas where the prescription pain medication may still be in full supply.
