Police: 'Santa Claus' Robs Dublin Grocery Store Pharmacy

By AUTUMN JOHNSON

Dublin Police officials said a man wearing a ”Santa Claus” style wig allegedly robbed the pharmacy inside the Dublin Safeway located at 7499 Dublin Blvd. on June 13.

“Upon arrival, it was learned a white male adult in his late twenties had entered the business, walked directly to the pharmacy, and demanded the pharmacist show him where the prescription drugs were kept,” Lieutenant Nate Schmidt said. “Fearing for their safety the pharmacist showed the suspect the prescription drugs, which he collected and stole before fleeing the store on foot.”

According to Schmidt, the suspect wore a grey wig and something covering his face during the robbery. Officers were unable to find the suspect and Schmidt says the investigation is ongoing.
