Los Angeles: Detectives are asking for the public’s help in locating a man who robbed a Northridge CVS Pharmacy that was captured on the store’s video surveillance system.
On Monday, September 1, 2008, at 10 p.m., a male suspect entered the pharmacy located in the 8500 block of Reseda Boulevard. The suspect posed as a customer and remained inside the store after the final closing announcement was made.
