VIDEO: Man walks out of Bethesda CVS with bags full of stolen merchandise
BETHESDA, Md. - A Bethesda CVS store was robbed in broad daylight Sunday.
FOX 5’s Jen Delgado captured the moment the man walked out of the store in the 7200 block of Wisconsin Avenue with bags full of products and loaded them into a van waiting across the street.
Delgado says she looked at the man and asked, "you know you need to pay for that right?" She says he looked straight at her, responded "I know," but proceeded to walk out with the stolen merchandise.
Police told FOX 5 Monday that the suspect stole hundreds of dollars worth of items, including laundry detergent and paper towels.
It’s the latest in a series of robberies targeting CVS stores.

A Bethesda CVS store was robbed in broad daylight Sunday. FOX 5’s Jen Delgado captured the moment the man walked out of the store in the 7200 block of Wisconsin Avenue with bags full of products and loaded them into a van waiting across the street.
According to the Alexandria Police Department, the duo stole more than $5,000 worth of hair and facial products from the CVS stores and will most likely face grand larceny charges.
Video FOX 5 obtained shows the suspects placing a large red bag full of alleged stolen CVS merchandise in what police say is a stolen black Hyundai.
The CVS store in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in D.C. was forced to close its doors due to rampant crime that left shelves empty month after month.
It’s a problem many of the drug stores are dealing with. Police across the area are issuing warnings to thieves but as the crime continues, residents are wondering what, if anything, can put a stop to the thefts.
