Cherry Hill police are searching for a man that they say robbed a Cherry Hill pharmacy at knifepoint to obtain Oxydocone pills.
Around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday, a masked man with a grey beard allegedly produced a knife and demanded the drugs from a pharmacist at the Holly Ravine shopping center CVS (101 Springdale Road).
He left the scene with an undisclosed amount of pills.
The suspect is described as a white male in his early 40’s, approximately 6 feet tall with a large build.
He was last seen wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, “and a red mask which exposed a grey beard,” police said.
That description matches the suspect wanted in a nearly identical incident that took place at the pharmacy on February 9.
Police are not yet prepared to connect the robberies, but a spokesperson for the department said that detectives are “definitely not discounting” that the same person could be responsible for both incidents.
