(The Daily Advertiser) Agents with the Lafayette Metro Narcotics Task Force executed arrest warrants on 9 people in connection with a computer-generated prescription forgery ring.

Three additional suspects are at large as their whereabouts are unknown.

The arrests were part of a two-phase long-term investigation into a forgery ring that utilized computers to fraudulently design pharmaceutical prescriptions using the names of several area physicians as the doctor authorizing pharmacy dispense of various controlled dangerous substances including Oxycodone, Vicodin, Amphetamine Salts, Buprenorphine, Carisoprodol, and Alprazolam.

During the first phase of the investigation, conducted from June 2015 to September 2015, agents arrested nine suspects and seized computer devices used to make drug prescriptions as well as $30,000 worth of high-end merchandise obtained by fraudulently generated receipts in the same manner used to make fake prescriptions.

Agents were able to identify the ring as being responsible for over 150 incidents of prescription forgery at various pharmacies in the Lafayette area since June of 2015. The second group, arrested today, was the result of additional investigation and evidence discovered in a September 2015 search warrant executed in the City of Lafayette.
