Robbery at Rite Aide

            On Sunday, February 1 at 5:50 p.m. a man took some pain medication from the Rite Aide pharmacy at 7395 Lee Highway in Falls Church. The pharmacist, a 66-year-old Springfield-area woman, was behind the counter when the suspect approached and demanded Oxycodone. He hopped over the counter when she did not comply and again demanded the drugs while implying he had a gun. She began to reach for a substitute drug. He took the entire bottle and fled the store. There were no injuries.

            The suspect was described as Hispanic, in his 20s. He was approximately 6 feet tall and 160 pounds. He was wearing dark sweatpants with pockets, a gray hoodie, dark jacket and a dark knit cap.
