A quick response helped Manassas police arrest a robbery suspect Monday as he was leaving the scene of the alleged crime, according to a police report.

At about midnight Monday, city police responded to the CVS Pharmacy at 9200 Centreville Road for a report of a robbery in progress. Officers arrived as the suspect, David W. Campbell (in photo above), was exiting the store with a bag of prescriptions, the report said.

Campbel dropped the bag and fled on foot, but he was apprehended quickly and without incident by officers, the report said. A store employee told officers that Campbell had implied he had a gun, but no weapons were displayed and no assault took place during the incident.

Campbell, 38, of 14205 Fullerton Road, Woodbridge, was charged with robbery and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, the report said. He’s being held without bond in the Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail and has a pending court date of April 21.
