On June 7, just after 4 p.m., officers with patrol services, criminal investigation, forensic identification and police dog services responded to an armed robbery at Green’s Pharmacy on the C.B.S. Highway.
Witnesses told police a lone man with his face concealed entered the business armed with a firearm and demanded paramedical drugs.
The lone man fled to an awaiting vehicle and got away before police got there.
The man was described as 5’4” to 5’5” tall with a stocky build, and wearing all black clothing and a black mask.
The vehicle used to flee the scene was a white Ford panel van.
On Friday, investigators arrested 60-year-old Leonard Clarke of C.B.S. He is alleged to have been driving the get-away van.
The lone man who police say entered the store is still at large and has not been identified.
