Thief Robs Pharmacy, Flees on Bicycle

The cashier was the only person inside when the thief struck at the CVS on the 15400 block of Brookhurst Street

An armed robber fled on a bicycle after holding up a pharmacy in Westminster late Monday.

The cashier was the only person inside when the thief struck at the CVS in the 15400 block of Brookhurst Street at around 9:45 p.m, a Westminster Police Department spokesman said. He approached armed with a weapon, and was handed an unknown amount of cash. 

Surveillance video showed the robber making his escape on a pushbike.

The thief is described as around 6 feet, 4 inches tall. He was wearing a black jacket over a purple shirt with black jeans.

There have been additional pharmacy hold ups in the Orange County area, however it is unclear if this robbery is connected to any of the others.
