Man wearing pink dress robs Ramsey Street pharmacy

A man who robbed a CVS pharmacy on Ramsey Street over the weekend took a different approach in his attempt to disguise himself.

He wore a pink dress and wrapped a cloth around his head.

The robbery happened about 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the CVS at 404 Ramsey St., said Gavin MacRoberts, a spokesman for the Fayetteville Police Department.

Surveillance video shows the man - wearing a sheer pink dress, tennis shoes and the towel or scarf - entering the store, attempting to cover his face with what appears to be a black stocking.

The man, carrying a tan bag and a white cloth, walks to the register where a woman is completing a purchase. The man reaches over and sets the bag down in front of the cashier, who begins putting money in it.

The man uses the white cloth to cover something in his hand, as if he is carrying a gun.

He fiddles with the stocking or pantyhose, trying to cover his face as the leg portion dangles down the front of his face onto his chest like an elephant's trunk.

The man keeps looking around as the cashier fills the bag. He then takes the bag and walks out.

Police believe the man is between 30 and 40 years old, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall with a medium build.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 433-1856 or CrimeStoppers at 483-TIPS.
