Reisterstown Pharmacy Robber IDed Thanks To Citizen Tips: Police

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Tips from citizens led authorities to identify the suspect in the recent armed robbery of a pharmacy in Reisterstown, according to police. An Ellicott City man has been charged in the holdup.

Authorities released surveillance video on Friday from the robbery of Nature Care Pharmacy in the unit block of Main Street in Reisterstown that took place March 25.

In the robbery, a ponytailed man had pointed a gun at the clerk, ordered the employee to give him a variety of pharmaceuticals and then left in the direction of Village Center Road, police said.
