State police are investigating a report of missing opioid pills at a Hempfield assisted living home.

The potential theft was reported after an inventory audit by staff at Mountain View Senior Living revealed 24 oxycodone pills were missing.

The pills were taken from the home on Nature Park Road sometime between March 11 and March 18, according to the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with information about the theft of the narcotics is asked to contact state police at the Greensburg barracks at 724-832-3288.
