WAG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- State Police in Harford County are looking for a middle-aged man suspected in at least four robberies in Edgewood last week, with the most recent incident occurring Friday evening at the Walgreen's Pharmacy on Pulaski Highway.

Police said the same man robbed the CVS Pharmacy and twice robbed Friendly's Restaurant, both of which are also on the highway. Baltimore County police said they have connected the same suspect to several robberies in the county's western areas.

In all four Edgewood incidents, witnesses have described a man in his 40's wearing a khaki hooded jacket that hides his features. Surveillance cameras have picked up the same image, police said.

Police said the man typically enters a business, acting like he is involved in a cell phone conversation. He approaches the cashier and demands money. During the Walgreen's robbery, the suspect pulled his jacket up and displayed the butt of a handgun.

Police said the same suspect robbed The Friendly's Restaurant on the morning of Nov. 10 and again Wednesday evening and then struck the nearby CVS Pharmacy that same night.

Anyone with information on the crimes or the suspect should call the Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
