Armed Robbery of Gloucester County Pharmacy May Be Linked to Haddonfield Rite Aid Robbery

Police believe the suspect in the robberies in Haddonfield, Woolwich and Logan are the same person.

The suspect in the armed robbery of a Haddonfield Rite Aid that took place last week may have struck again over the weekend.

In this instance, the suspect entered the Rite Aid on 121 Center Square Road in Woolwich Township, took a female customer hostage and threatened to shoot/kill her if the pharmacy technician did not give him all of the Oxycodone. According to police, the suspect had a crowbar, but there was no indication he had a gun.

After the technician turned over the Oxycodone, the suspect failed to steal the customer’s car keys, and then fled the pharmacy on foot in a northern direction.
