ORION TOWNSHIP, MI – Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies were called at 7:43 p.m. on Thursday, July 7th, 2016, to investigate a prescription fraud at a CVS Pharmacy in the 3400 block of Baldwin Road.

It was determined that a suspect had dropped off a fraudulent prescription at the pharmacy.  Deputies arrested the man when he tried to pick the prescription up.  He is a 22-year-old Pontiac man.

Four other suspects, two men and two women, who were waiting outside the store in a blue SUV, fled the scene.  It would later be learned that the vehicle had been stolen out of Pontiac.

The driver of the stolen SUV, a 30-year-old man from Pontiac, was arrested.

The three other suspects were released at the hospital pending further investigation.
