Man charges at pharmacy with hammer, $1,000 reward offered for arrest

Biddeford Police are looking for the man they say robbed a Rite Aid earlier this month with a hammer, and they're releasing new photos of the suspect caught in the act, as well as offering a reward.

Police say the robbery happened at the drug store on Alfred Street on June 8. Investigators say the man entered the store, lingered a few minutes, then charged at the pharmacy with a hammer and demanded prescription drugs. The suspect made off with an unknown amount of drugs.

Police think the suspect may be the same person who robbed a Rite Aid in Westbrook last Saturday.

A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest. Anyone who thinks they have information is asked to call Biddeford PD at 282-5127.

They didn't call him "a hammerman" as opposed to "gunman" you hear all the time...I guess hammers arent as evil yet today.

Ban hammers!

A nailbiting manhunt to ensue.

is that hammer pre-ban?

We must restrict hammer purchases to one a month. Nails should be microstamped and ID's checked for each purchase. Obviously people cannot be trusted

(sarcasm off)

Nice headline. Made it sound like he was trying to pay for his medication by proffering up a hammer in trade.

How did he actually get away with robbing someone that way? Would you give drugs to someone just because they had a hammer? I'm assuming there was a counter between them.

Because the hammer has a laser-level on it. That red dot is quite intimidating.

Everyone is missing the real problem... Prescription drugs...

If it weren't for these dangerous substances, this poor soul would not have been driven to a life of violent crime...

I also work in a retail pharmacy, and we're told to give the robber what they want. Whether they show a hammer or not.

If it was an all black hammer with a handle-shroud (ya know, the thing that goes up) then there should be a new "assault-hammer" law on the books by next week. So, you had better go out and get your tacticool hammer accessories now before the ban.
