Suspect sought in pharmacy robberies

London police are looking for a man they believe was responsible for three pharmacy robberies in the city.

The first happened on Sunday, May 26. Police say a man went into a pharmacy at 1118 Adelaide St. N around 11:20 a.m. and demanded narcotics. He told staff that he had a weapon, but no weapon was seen.

On August 6 around 12 p.m., a robbery was reported at a pharmacy at 530 Commissioners R. W. Again, a man told staff he had a weapon and demanded narcotics.

A similar robbery happened the next day around 12:45 p.m. at a pharmacy at 395 Southdale Rd. E.

In each case, the suspect is described as a white male, between 30 and 40 years of age, 5'10" to 6'0 tall, a heavy build, and a full beard. In each robbery, the man was wearing a baseball cap.

Police released surveillance photos of the suspect (seen below) and are hoping the public can help identify him.







Anyone with information is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to www.londoncrimestoppers.com
