PARMA --  For the third time in a month, a man walked into a Parma pharmacy and walked out with thousands of dollars worth of narcotic painkillers, Opana and Oxycontin.

The first happened on January 4 at the Rite Aid on State Road. The suspect wore a gray hoodie, black ski mask and gloves. He brought his own bag and demanded Opana from the pharmacist. The robbery happened at 1:45 in the afternoon.

Two weeks later, a suspect walked into the Rockside Road Walgreens wearing the same outfit, but with a gray hoodie with red and white stripes and black pockets on the front.

This time he got away with both Opana and Oxycontin. That robbery happened at 10:55 in the morning.

Then Saturday night at 9 p.m., police believe the same man robbed the Pearl Road Walgreens. This time wearing a red Ohio State hoodie and customers were waiting in line behind him.

Each time he wears the mask and gloves and brings his own plastic bag for the stash.

Parma police believe the same man is responsible for all three.  They believe he's about 5'6" to 5'8" and 175 pounds.  Anyone with information is asked to call Parma Police Crime Tip-Line at 440.887.7340.

Meanwhile, early Monday morning in Berea, police say a 23-year-old  jumped over the counter at the Bagley Road CVS and demanded Oxycodone from the pharmacist.

He carried a semi-automatic weapon.

With help from a Strongsville Police drug K-9, they tracked him to a home within walking distance to the drug store. 

Jared Seabaugh has been charged with aggravated robbery with a gun.
