Man hands pharmacist a note, demanding narcotics; no arrests yet BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — A Thanksgiving Day robbery of a local pharmacy has authorities turning to the public for help identifying the perpetrator. The Conway Police Department has kept most details about the robbery quiet, but police officials released a blurry security camera photo of a man they are calling a “person of interest” in the robbery of the Rite Aid on Route 16 in North Conway. The man’s face is largely obscured, but he is a white male, roughly 40 to 55 years old with a gray mustache and goatee. He is wearing
a red ball cap, jean jacket, blue jeans, sunglasses and white sneakers. According to a statement released with the photo, the man was also wearing dark-colored gloves at the time of the robbery. The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. The man walked into the Rite Aid and handed the pharmacist a handwritten note demanding narcotics. Conway police spokesman Lt. Chris Perley would not say what the man got away with, if anything, or if any money was taken, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
