Pharmacy Robberies In Maine Following A Trend
Three pharmacy robberies took place in just under two hours Sunday afternoon.
The Rite Aid on Wilson Street in Brewer and the Rite Aid on Union and 14th Streets in Bangor were both hit around 3:45 p.m.
Bangor Police say the suspect in the Union Street Rite Aid robbery fled. They later caught 46-year-old Jeffrey Macy of Eastbrook in his gold 1995 Pontiac. Officer Jim Dearing inserted the push bar on the front of his police car into Macy's car. He is charged with robbery and numerous other charges. He remains in Penobscot County Jail. This is the third time that Rite Aid has been robbed.
Then around 5:00 p.m., police believe the Hannaford on Union Street in Bangor was also targeted.
Captain Jason Moffitt of the Brewer Police Department said Maine State Police, the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office, and officers from Holden and Orrington are searching for at least one other suspect.
Capt. Moffitt said, "We are looking for a suspect, possibly 5'4" - 5'6" in height, possibly in his 30's. It's a white male in a blue or purple jacket of some type."
If you have any information, you're asked to call the Brewer Police at 989-7000.
Our police force is overwhelmed with crime and yet there are cuts everywhere. We, the people of Maine, have had it! So you cut the welfare but that alone will not make them go away! How about work camps? Why do you allow Hope Houses? They are UNFIT to live free. Make sure the scum don’t breed either. Food and shelter for WORK. This is not the Maine we used to know. People need to be able to go shopping and working without the fear something bad will happen. Whatever is attracting the scum to Maine must be stopped. Bangor and Brewer used to be a peaceful community and a lost dog would be the news of the day. We expect you, Mr. Governor, to triple the police force in Bangor and Brewer.
Our food shelters, homeless shelters, and etc. have been a saving lifeline to many Maine families. An individual needing rescue/help should not be judged and called scum.
