Fort Collins Police Believe Same Man Robbed Pharmacy 4 Times

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Fort Collins have arrested a man they believe may have robbed the same Walgreens Pharmacy four times.

According to Cory Christensen with Fort Collins police, officers arrested Austin Michael Surprise, 20, last Friday for allegedly robbing the Walgreens Pharmacy located at 2190 West Drake Road.

Christensen said the same Walgreens Pharmacy had been robbed three prior times since mid-December.

"Each time, the robber demanded prescription drugs including hydrocodone with acetaminophen, oxycodone, Adderall and morphine," Christensen said in a statement. "This investigation is currently ongoing; however, evidence suggests that Surprise is the person who robbed the pharmacy all four times."
