WASHINGTON – Police are asking the public to help identify a bandaged man who robbed a CVS Pharmacy in Montgomery Village on Christmas Eve.
Montgomery County Police say around 8:45 p.m. Dec. 24, the suspect entered the CVS in the 19000 block of Montgomery Village Avenue and said he had a gun.
The suspect then handed employees a note demanding drugs and the employees complied.
The suspect left the store using the front door and fled in an unknown direction.
