Tigard Police Investigating Robbery at Rite-Aid On April 27, 2011 at approximately 8:55 a.m. an employee of Rite-Aid telephoned 9-1-1 to report a robbery. The witness told police a man allegedly had displayed a gun while demanding Oxycodone. Within several minutes of the call, numerous Tigard Police Officers arrived at the store located at 12240 SW Scholls Ferry Road in Tigard and contained the area. A K-9 track was initiated as well. Tigard Police investigators spent the remainder of the morning gathering statements from witnesses and gathering any available evidence. No one was injured. According to police reports, the employee stated a white male entered the front of the store and proceeded directly to the pharmacy. Once there, the suspect entered through a restricted door leading directly in the pharmacy work area and met up with an employee. The suspect made demands for the highly sought-after narcotic, "Oxycontin," while displaying a handgun. The suspect then fled the store through the rear emergency-only exits carrying the stolen drugs. The suspect is described as approximately late 20s, 5'10" tall with medium build, light red hair and a possible goatee. Witnesses recall the suspect wearing a grey sweatshirt at the time of the robbery. If anyone has information regarding the incident, they are asked to contact the Tigard Police Department at 503-639-6168. |
