RFP October 13th article on the Walgreens Pharmacy Armed Robbery: Salisbury: Man with a Knife Robs Walgreens on W. Jake Alexander Boulevard Wednesday Night. Takes Off with a Bag of Oxycodone
According to Salisbury Police sources a white male claiming to be armed with a knife and a threatening note held up the Walgreens on 705 W. Jake Alexander Boulevard Wednesday at 9 p.m. for a bag filled with an undisclosed amount of oxycodone pills, a powerful synthetic opioid painkiller aka “Hillbilly Heroin”. Whenever and wherever a pharmacy in the Salisbury area is stuck-up, the favorite “request” is oxycodone.
Just before closing a white male with a salt and pepper beard, wearing a grey hoodie sweatshirt, dark pants, and a winter style cap (toboggan) walked immediately to the rear of Walgreens where he called over to a pharmacy tech and handed him a note that basically said if you don’t give me the oxycodone I’d start killing people. The robber said he was armed with a knife. The tech in turn passed the note to the pharmacist on duty. For a moment or two the pair appeared to be moving too slowly for the robber who allegedly warned the pharmacist to hurry up or he’d start killing people. The pharmacist placed an undisclosed amount of oxycodone pills in a bag and handed it to the robber. Neither the pharmacist or the tech ever saw a weapon displayed.
The robber headed out of Walgreens to the rear of the building where he disappeared on foot into a wooded area off Mooresville Road.
