At approximately 1:30 p.m., Aug. 21, 2021, a pharmacy near Lakewood Road NW and 28 Avenuewas robbed by a single male suspect. It was reported to police that the suspect entered the store, initiated conversation with the pharmacist, before pulling out a knife and demanding access to cash and narcotics.
Later that same Saturday, at approximately 4:50 p.m., a male suspect entered a pharmacy near 114 Street and 17 Avenue SW, told the pharmacist that he had a gun and ordered the pharmacist to open the safe.
In both incidents, the suspect fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and narcotics. Robbery Section investigators believe the same male suspect was responsible for both robberies.
The suspect is described as an East Indian or Arabic male, thin build, in his early 20s. He was wearing a “Burberry” black hoodie, blue surgical mask, black/white Under Armor shoes and a black ball cap with a New York Yankees emblem on the front, at the time of the robberies.
The suspect also has what appears to be a birthmark/scar/burn on the back of his left hand, which is distinguishable. Investigators believe he may also be associated to a black Jaguar vehicle, which has black rims and a silver trim package.
