Atlanta police said thieves broke into a Walgreens in Buckhead and stole prescriptions early Wednesday morning. 

It happened just before 3 a.m. in the 2200 block of Peachtree Road.

Police said several thieves pried open the door and took several types of drugs, including Oxycodone and Morphine.

Investigators said store security accessed surveillance video remotely and began tracking a device taken during the burglary. The device was tracked to a location near a Motel 6 on Delk Road in Cobb County. 

Police said two suspects who matched the description of the thieves in the video had checked into the Motel 6. 

One of the suspects left the motel and is now in police custody. Meanwhile, Cobb County detectives are attempting to get a warrant to enter the motel, where police believe the second suspect remains.
