COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs police are asking for your help finding a man who robbed a Walgreens two weeks ago.

Police said a man dressed as a pirate robbed a Walgreens on May 22 around 3:50 a.m.

The man was standing in the restricted area where the prescription medicines are kept and displayed a weapon, demanding medicine. The pharmacist took a bag from the man and filled it with an undisclosed amount of prescription drugs.

The man then fled the store on foot.

Police describe the suspect as a white man in his 20s. He is about 5'9" and weighs about 150 pounds with brown eyes. He wore a pirate disguise to alter his appearance.
