Duluth Police are asking for the publics help in identifying the suspect in last Sunday’s Walgreen’s Pharmacy robbery.
On Sunday, October 3, 2010, at 1:46 AM, Duluth Police responded to the Walgreen’s Pharmacy, 1301 East Superior Street, on the report that it had just been robbed.
Employees told officers that a single male suspect entered the store and went to the pharmacy. The suspect then made a statement to employees that they didn’t want to get hurt and then jumped over the counter and took about ten bottles of prescription medication. No gun or weapon was seen and the suspect fled the store on foot. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a white male, mid twenties, 5’10”-5’11” tall, average build, and unshaven. He was wearing a gray hooded zip up sweatshirt with black lettering on the front, light blue jeans with holes in the knees, baseball cap, and light colored shoes with dark soles.
Police are releasing surveillance pictures taken of the suspect as he entered the store. Police ask that anyone that recognizes the suspect or has information about the suspect or the robbery, to call the Duluth Police Department Violent Crimes Unit at 218-730-5050. The investigation into the incident is ongoing and no further information is available.
