Surveillance video courtesy of Super Value BY MONICA S. NAGY mnagy@star-telegram.com EULESS The owners of Super Value Pharmacy rang in the new year with a trashed business missing $1 million worth of pharmaceuticals. General Manager Jayne Laughbaum said the pharmacy at 720 N. Industrial Boulevard was broken into in the early hours of Dec. 31. The burglars took, “highly-marketable drugs with a street value of up to one million dollars,” she said. Surveillance footage shows men clad in black crawling and trying to break into a safe. Spilled pill bottles and cough syrup can be seen in the footage, and what appears to be a safe with the side cut out. “We’ve had break-ins before, but this one was the most costly,” Laughbaum wrote in an email. She said there appeared to be two men inside with “at least one lookout.” Owners placed a banner outside the pharmacy that read, “$10,000 reward for the arrest & conviction for the break-in on New Years Eve between 4am-7am.” Euless police declined to comment about theft, saying that the investigation is “active and ongoing.” Police asked the pharmacy owners to take down the banner.

An artist’s rendering of Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar planned for Glade Parks. City of Euless Handout Construction is scheduled to start on the restaurant and theater this spring. “This is another great addition to Glade Parks,” Mayor Linda Martin said during the council meting. The movie theater and restaurant will be easily visible from Texas 121 and will be near the residential portion of Glade Parks where K. Hovnanian is building single-family homes. Mike Collins, director of planning and economic development for the city, said an 8-foot masonry wall will be built to screen the theater from the residential area. Cinepolis Cinepolis is a Mexico-based company with locations in 13 countries including the United States, India and Spain. According to its website, Cinepolis is the fourth- largest movie theater exhibitor in the world. Cinepolis has locations in California and Florida, and the company is expanding in Texas. The company is building an eight-screen theater in Victory Park, a mixed-use development in downtown Dallas. The theater should be finished in 2017. The Euless location will offer moviegoers options including reserved luxury seating, a full restaurant and bar and the “more traditional” setting where people can walk up to a counter to buy their tickets, purchase concessions and watch a movie. Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar The Lazy Dog Restaurant is bringing the growing popularity of dog-friendly patios to Euless. People like having their dogs with them when they are out and about, and the restaurant features a 1,400-square-foot outdoor patio that will give dogs and their owners plenty of room. Recently, the City council adopted an ordinance that spells out requirements that the restaurant must meet before pooches are allowed on the patio. State law allows cities to grant variances for dogs on restaurant patios as long as there is a separate entrance to the patio, dogs do not go inside the restaurant, and the area is cleaned regularly. Collins told the Star-Telegram previously that Euless would decide each request to allow dogs on outdoor patios individually. Fort Worth and Dallas have their share of restaurants that welcome dogs on their patios. Cinepolis and the Lazy Dog will be built near the Belk department store that is under construction and scheduled to open in March. 2 Sought In Theft Of $1M In Drugs From Euless Pharmacy January 21, 2016 12:22 PM ty I EULESS (AP) – Security video shows two thieves pilfering a Euless pharmacy, cutting open a safe and stealing nearly $1 million worth of drugs and other products.
