The list of items paints a portrait of an overweight, balding, dentally and digestively challenged guy who nonetheless has hopes of scoring -- or why else would he have grabbed those condoms?
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the man has a thing for Walgreens outlets. On April 10, he's said to have hit two of the company's stores -- one in Arvada, where he got away with merchandise valued at $2,000, and another in Golden that he relieved of $600 in items.
Then, the next day, he allegedly robbed four Walgreens in south Jeffco, netting himself another $2,600 worth of stuff.What did he take during the last quartet of jobs? Here's the JCSO roster: Teeth-whitening strips, Alli weight loss pills, Rogaine and other hair growth products, Renew Life probiotics and condoms.
Because once all that tartar is off his teeth, he drops a few pounds, his hair is growing like penicillin on soggy bread and his stomach is settled, he'll be flat-out irresistible to the opposite sex. Look out, ladies!
The man is described as a black male in his late thirties to mid-forties with short dark hair and a neatly groomed mustache and beard. During at least some of the jobs, he wore gray slacks, a gray sweater, a blue dress shirt and a red tie, and he carried a black coat that was presumably used to hide his ill-gotten gains. Cops speculate that the coat may actually have a false liner or bag, since he carried it in over his arm on the way in only to leave with it slung over his shoulder, Santa's-toy-sack-style.
One other technique: He purchased a DVD when entering the stores, possibly so that when the door alarm activated, the clerks would assume the movie had triggered it, and not a Durex Pleasure Pack.
