PARMA - Police are searching for a man who robbed a Walgreens Pharmacy of pain medications on Thursday morning.

Authorities say the suspect entered the store in the 1400 block of Rockside Road shortly before 11 a.m. and held out a plastic bag while demanding specific pain medications.

The man then fled the store after employees gave him an undisclosed amount of pain medications.

A photo of the suspect in the store shows he was wearing a distinctive gray hooded sweatshirt-style jacket with black, red and white striping on the shoulders and black pockets on the front.

Parma police believe this suspect could be involved with a similar incident at a Rite Aid on January 4.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Parma Police crime tip line at 440-887-7340. Callers can remain anonymous
