NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A man accused in the theft of about $90 million in prescription drugs from a warehouse, believed to be the largest theft in state history, pleaded guilty on Monday.
Thieves broke into the Enfield warehouse of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. in 2010 by scaling an exterior wall and cutting a hole in the roof. They lowered themselves to the floor and disabled alarms before using a forklift to load pallets of drugs into a getaway vehicle.
