Drugs wanted in attempted CVS robbery Tuesday

Posted

Omaha Police say a man asked for drugs while trying to rob a CVS pharmacy Tuesday afternoon.

The robbery happened around 1 p.m. at the CVS at 132nd Street and West Center Road. 

Investigators said a clerk told them a man walked up to the pharmacy counter and passed a note with a list of prescription drugs he wanted.

"The employee advised the suspect that she could not access the requested drugs, at which point the suspect fled empty handed," police said in a press release Tuesday.

About an hour later, officers were called to investigate another robbery at the CVS at 48th and Dodge streets.

Police have not yet released information about what happened or said if the two are related.
