The man pried the pharmacy door open and took prescription drugs, police said. Security images show the man with a mustache, wearing a hat with a brim like a baseball cap, a black sweatshirt and baggy gray pants.
The reward is being offered by Purdue Pharma as part of the RxPATROL program, a cooperative effort among the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacists and police to share information on pharmacy theft. Purdue Pharma manufactures OxyContin, a painkiller that also is popular with drug abusers and can lead to addiction.
Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call an anonymous hotline at 888-479-8477.
