Man In Business Suit ‘Targets’ Rx Drugs During Robbery

A man who was wearing a business suit when he demanded Oxycontin from a Target pharmacist in Cathedral City remains at large.

The suspect acted as if he was carrying a knife when he robbed the Target pharmacy at 67750 E. Palm Canyon Drive just before 7 p.m. Monday Cathedral City police Sgt. Carl Wolford said.

“The suspect simulated a possible knife as a weapon and demanded a specific brand of prescription medication, which was given to the suspect,” Wolford said.

The suspect was described as Hispanic, in his mid-40s, about 5-foot-5 and weighing between 190 and 200 pounds. He was wearing a white pinstripe suit, light blue undershirt and sunglasses and had short, black spiky hair, according to police.
