NORTH ANDOVER — Two men dressed like ninjas busted their way into a local pharmacy early this morning and "with military precision" made off with a large amount of drugs in less than two minutes, said police Lt. Paul Gallagher.

The two men dressed all in black with their faces covered used sledgehammers to break through a door at Walgreen's, 800 Waverly Road, about 12:38 a.m. A worker hid while the two men used crow bars to break open the store's drug lockers, police said.

Gallagher said an inventory was still being completed as to the amount and types of drugs taken.
