Lincoln Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help in identifying suspects in two separate cases: one involving the theft of multiple bottle of promethazine from a drug store chain, and the other involving the theft of multiple mail packages from a local apartment complex.
The first case occurred on May 31, 2024, at the Walgreen on 70th and “O” Street.
A man came into the store and slid a note to the pharmacy tech demanding that she hand over some promethazine with codeine.
The pharmacy tech tried to tell the man they don’t carry that medication, but when the pharmacy tech walked away to speak with the pharmacist, the man jumped over the counter, grabbed multiple bottles of promethazine, and ran out of the store.
The man was described as a black male, 25-35 years old, wearing black glasses, a green colored Air Jordan hoodie, and he had a tattoo on his neck.
Security video of the incident and photos of the suspect available below.
The second case occurred on July 3, 2024, at an apartment complex near N. 27th and Fletcher Avenue.
Security video in the in the package delivery room captured a man breaking out a glass window on a door to the package room around 4 a.m.
Once inside the package room, the man stole an unknown amount of boxes and other packages. It is unclear the total value of the loss.
