WATERVILLE, Maine — Police are on the hunt for a man they say robbed a woman of prescription drugs at gunpoint Friday night and escaped.
The woman, whom Waterville police Det. Chris Paradis would not name, was not injured in the robbery, which occurred at her Nicole Drive mobile home just after 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The suspect, who had a mask over his face, went into the woman’s home, brandished his weapon and demanded prescription drugs, according to Paradis.
“He did get some drugs,” Paradis said. “I’m not going to disclose what they were, but yes, he did.”
Paradis added the suspect was “in and out pretty quickly.”
The investigation remains open Monday. Anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts should contact Waterville police at 680-4700.
Arm yourselves folks, this will only continue…
If she were followed from a pharmacy-that would be a new twist with these crimes. I doubt that he just randomly picked this lady.
That isn’t actually a new twist westshores. They started this a couple years ago, lingering around the pharmacy to see which ones get these types of drugs. The pharmacy’s need to stop saying what people have out loud.
You’re right -customers may have to go into more private areas to speak with the Pharmacists and Technicians.
