Florida man admits role in prescription med theft

A Florida man has admitted he took part in an operation that stole nearly $600,000 in prescription medicine and hair care products.

Reynaldo Tapanes (tah-PAHN-es) pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of conspiracy.

He was among 12 people charged last spring.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says the thefts occurred in Florida in 2008 and 2009. The prescription respiratory medicine was in a tractor-trailer that was stolen in Tampa, and Tapanes admitted delivering the drugs to a contact in Elizabeth.

The 46-year-old Miami resident also admitted delivering the hair care products to a warehouse in Newark. Those were part of a shipment from Ohio to Florida. He admitted receiving $180,000 for both deliveries.

Tapanes faces a maximum prison term of five years on each conspiracy count.
