Dearborn Police Searching For Unarmed Robber

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a man that allegedly robbed a Warren Avenue CVS Pharmacy on July 21. The suspected walked into the store and eventually approached a clerk to pay for merchandise.

Moments later, police reports said the man leaned over the counter and “forcibly took” cash from the register after the clerk opened it. The clerk tried to stop the suspect, but he pushed her away and then fled the store on foot.
