In Case You Were Wondering Why Some Cops Seem So Jacked . . .
After authorities raided a Bay Ridge pharmacy that allegedly sold steroids, it turns out that some NYPD officers were customers:
Posted: October 17th, 2007 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Law & OrderAs many as 30 cops were rounded up last night and ordered to an NYPD medical facility in Queens to take drug tests as part of a steroid investigation that has rocked the department, sources told The Post.
Six officers are under investigation for alleged steroid use after a raid on a Brooklyn pharmacy yielded information indicating they may have received improper prescriptions, police said in an official statement.
The statement said no officers have been arrested and no arrests are anticipated.
But the cops sent for drug tests will be placed on modified duty. They are assigned to precincts in Brooklyn and Staten Island, and one is a high-ranking member of the NYPD, The Post’s sources said.
The investigation stems from a Monday-night raid on Lowen’s Pharmacy in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
