The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information concerning a robbery at Wallgreens at N12315 Division on Sept. 9.
Deputy T. Liljenberg responded to the store, where he spoke with store employees who told him that at about 10 a.m., a white male entered the store and asked if he could borrow a cigarette from any of the employees. Employees told the individual they did not smoke.
Later, the employees watched him as he walked through the store. One of the employees caught the suspect putting cold medicine and vitamins inside his pockets near the rear of the store. The suspect saw the employee and ran towards the business’ front door.
