Report Number:           15-1617

Occurred Date :           March 25, 2015

Suspect(s):                   Unknown

At approximately 1:45 pm on March 25, 2015 a male adult entered the Lucky’s Supermarket at 939 Lakeville Street, Petaluma and headed to the pharmacy.  He told the pharmacist that he had a gun, and demanded medication.  The suspect did not display a firearm, nor did he get behind the pharmacy counter.  He was given the medication, and he left the store.  During the robbery the suspect attempted to hide his face with his t-shirt and the ball cap he was wearing.

The suspect wore a camouflage patterned baseball cap, a black t-shirt, a jacket that appeared to be blue denim with gray sleeves (or possibly a blue denim vest over a sweatshirt), and khaki pants.  It is unknown if the suspect had access to a vehicle.

In addition to this case, investigation continues into two other robberies that occurred earlier in the day under similar circumstances (the first at 5:28 am at Quick Stop, 1510 East Washington Street and the second at a Valero gas station, 910 Baywood Drive).  All three cases are being examined for commonalities.  Anyone with information on these cases is asked to contact Detective Nick McGowan at 707-778-4372.
