This man is wanted in the connection with a series of pharmacy robberies.

The man who may be responsible for committing five recent armed pharmacy robberies struck for the sixth time in Kings Beach on July 16.

This is the same pharmacy that was robbed two months ago.

On May 16, the suspect robbed the Rite-Aid in Kings Beach while wearing a surgical mask. On July 16, his face was exposed. Colfax, Reno and Incline Village pharmacies have also been robbed.

He is described as Caucasian with olive skin; clear complexion; black or dark brown hair with some gray, which flipped up behind his ears and around his neck; 5-feet-6-inches to 5-feet-10-inches tall; with a thick build; brown eyes;  30 to 45 years of age; clean shaven; and speaks without an accent.

He has worn different clothing during robberies, but he has always worn either a ball cap or a “boonie” or fishing-type hat.

In all of the robberies, the suspect concealed a handgun in his pocket and partially displayed it to the employee. The suspect was said to be calm and talked normally as he asked for Methadone and other drugs. After he was given the medication, he quickly walked out of the store and fled.
