Fairfax County Police detectives are investigating two incidents of armed robberies involving CVS stores on Easter Sunday in Fairfax County, according to a news release Monday from police.

One of the incidents took place Sunday just after 4 p.m. at the CVS store located at 9009 Silverbrook Road in the Lorton area. A man approached the pharmacy, demanded a variety of drugs and revealed a pistol to the technician. He took the medications and fled.

The suspect was described as white, in his mid 20s, between 5 feet 7 and 5 feet 9 inches tall, and thin. He wore a black hoody sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head. He may have been driving a dark silver pickup truck, driving westbound on Silverbrook Road.

A second crime took place earlier Sunday, around 10:30 a.m. at the CVS store at 5652 Pickwick Road in Centreville. Similarly to the earlier crime, a man demanded a variety of medications, revealed a pistol, but fled prior to grabbing the drugs.

The suspect was also described as white and thin. He wore a dark hoodie, black pants, and white sneakers. He wore a black beanie underneath the hood. Detectives are investigating whether or not these incidents may be related.
