Strong-arm robber hitsa CVS store

Authorities on Wednesday released video of a man robbing a U.S. 19 CVS store. In the clips, the robber walked into the store at 3511 U.S. 19 just after noon Dec. 13 and headed for the pharmacy. He wore sunglasses, shorts and a plaid dress shirt. A Sheriff's Office report says he demanded several kinds of drugs from a pharmacist, threatening her with physical harm. The pharmacist complied, giving him a bottle of unspecified pills. He then walked out. The robber is white, age 35 to 40, with straight brown hair, missing teeth, between 5-feet-9 and 5-feet-11, less than 200 pounds. Detectives also believe he is responsible for another strong-arm robbery that occurred on the morning of Nov. 29 at a CVS store at 12015 Little Road in Hudson. During this latest robbery the suspect used the same method, where he handed the pharmacist a threatening note demanding medication. Anyone with information about the crime or the suspect can call Pasco County Sheriff's Office Detective Chris Beaman at (800) 854-2862, ext. 7841. To watch the video, visit www.pasco.tampabay.com.
