Police Seek Prescription Drug Robber
An armed robber took $15,000 in prescription medication from the CVS at 11980 College Blvd., according to the Oceanside Police Department.
Oceanside police hope surveillance photos released today will lead to the man who robbed a CVS Pharmacy of about $15,000 in prescription medicine. The holdup at 1980 College Blvd. occurred shortly before 10 p.m. June 1, according to Oceanside police Lt. Joe Young.
The robber approached the pharmacy counter, brandished a dark handgun and demanded the medicine from a clerk, Young said in a statement.
The clerk complied and the bandit fled with at least two large, filled CVS-stamped bags. He was last seen driving a 1980s model Nissan Sentra north on College Boulevard, Young said.
