New Hampshire police seize 322,000 prescription pills

NASHUA, N.H. - Nashua police say they have seized more than 300,000 prescription pills from a Nashua residence.

Police say 32-year-old Tam Mitchell has been charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell and falsifying physical evidence.

The investigation started when police were called 9 Burritt St. for the report of a man having a heart attack.

When police arrived, they found a dead man and say it appeared that evidence had been taken from the scene.

Authorities later searched the property and found 322,000 pills, which they determined had been stolen during burglary of a pharmaceutical warehouse in Mansfield, Mass., three years ago.

Police say the investigation continues and more arrests could be made.
