Man Robbed CVS, Attempted To Rob Man Using ATM: GTPD

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ - A Gloucester Township man robbed the CVS on College Drive and attempted to rob a man outside the nearby TD Bank before being captured by police Thanksgiving morning, police said.

Police say 36-year-old Bryan W. Mason, of the Sicklerville section of the township, stole prescription drugs from the CVS after breaking into the store through the pharmacy drive-thru window just before 3 a.m. Nov. 22.

After that, police say he went to the nearby TD Bank, where he attempted to rob a man who was using the ATM. When the man refused to surrender any money, a fight ensued. Police said the man was able to fight off Mason, who fled the scene.
