The suspect is described as a white male, between 5'10" and 6' tall, wearing a black Carhart skull-cap, a black cloth covering his face, a navy blue hoodie with the letters "American Original" on the back along with an image of an American Flag and Mickey Mouse, very light blue jeans and blue rubber gloves.

The second crime happened around 1:30 p.m. on June 25, 2016. A black male armed with a handgun entered Cherry Hill Pharmacy, at Cherry Hill and W. Outer Drive, and demanded money, according to police. When the employee could not produce any cash, police say the suspect stole numerous narcotics that were stored near the counter and fled the scene.

The suspect is described as a black male, 20-30 years old, with side burns and possibly a beard. He also has a "sleeve tattoo"covering his right arm from his bicep to his wrist.

"Crimes of this nature will be investigated until the perpetrators are arrested and brought to justice," Police Chief Ronald Haddad said in a statement. "We are urging the public to come forward with information that will assist us in identifying the suspects in these cases."

Anyone with information on either crime is urged to contact Dearborn police at 313-943-2241, or submit a tip anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
