Police are seeking help in identifying robbers believed responsible for the hold-ups of several 24-hour pharmacies since February.
Nine stores _ eight Walgreens and one CVS store _ have been targeted since February. Six have occurred in Arlington, most recently on June 23, and the others in Fort Worth and Grand Prairie.
In each, the suspect enters the pharmacy between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., displays a gun to the clerk, and walks away with money and cigarettes, Arlington police say.
Investigators suspect the suspect may be working with others.
The robber has been described as a black man with a light complexion or Hispanic male with a thin build and between 5-foot-6-inches to 5-foot-9-inches tall.
In some, the suspect wore a mask, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves and a head cover, which could be covering up scars, tattoos or other markings, police say.
Anyone with information is asked to call PD Detective S. Archer at 817-459-5336 or Detective B. Dunn at 817-459-5729. Anonymous tips can also be made through Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477 or online at www.469tips.com.
