Suspect Sought In Robberies Of New Jersey Pharmacies
WOODBURY, NJ (CBS) - Police in two New Jersey towns are searching for a suspect in connection to the robbery of one pharmacy and the attempted robbery of another.
The first incident occurred March 4th at about 7 p.m. at the CVS Pharmacy located on South Black Horse Pike in Mount Ephraim.
Investigators say the suspect walked into store and presented a demand note stating that he was armed. The suspect asked the pharmacist to hand over OxyContin and Xanax. The store had neither drug and the suspect left without incident.
