Robber Demands Oxycodone Supply at Jefferson Davis Hwy CVS

An overnight CVS pharmacist reported that a male suspect approached the counter Wednesday holding a handkerchief to his face. When the pharmacist stepped forward to offer assistance, the suspect put his hand to his waist and both physically and verbally implied that he had a weapon.

The suspect then pushed his way through the swinging door dividing the customer waiting area from the restricted access section and demanded that the pharmacist turn over the store’s supply of Oxycodone from the safe. The pharmacist complied, and the man fled from the store on foot.

The incident occurred Wednesday, Aug. 13 around 6:40 a.m. at the CVS located at 591 Jefferson Davis Highway in Fredericksburg.

The suspect was described as a cleanshaven black male in his mid 20s with short hair. He was wearing a black ball cap with a letter “B” on it, a black short-sleeve T-shirt, khaki cargo style shorts, and black hightop sneakers. The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Patrick Lamb at (540) 654-5740.
