EDMOND, Oklahoma – An Edmond pharmacist got back at a serial burglar by filling the wanted bottles with candy, police said.

According to police, officers responded to an alarm going off at the Clinic Pharmacy, 120 N. Bryant Avenue, at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, they found the front glass doors of the pharmacy had been broken and four bottles of hydrocodone were missing. The pharmacist informed officers that due to recent burglaries he had filled the bottles with M&M's.

"Hopefully this will be the last time since they realize all they're gonna get is M&M's. They got something. They didn't go away empty handed so it's sort of like sweet revenge on his part," said Glynda Chu, Edmond Police Department spokesperson.

No suspects have been identified.
