NAPLES–The man who robbed Rite Aid in Naples on Monday is still on the lam, authorities said Wednesday.

According to Capt. Donald Goulet of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, a man stole a large quantity of Oxycontin, a strong pain medication usually prescribed to cancer patients, on Monday at 5:30 p.m. from the Rite Aid pharmacy on Route 302.

The man, described as about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing between 125 and 145 pounds, was observed on numerous surveillance cameras located inside and outside the building. According to police, the man entered the story, went straight to the pharmacy window, tapped on a coat pocket indicating he had a gun, and presented a note to the pharmacist demanding Oxycontin. Upon receiving an undisclosed amount of the drug, the man walked out of the store and ran around to the back of the building, where he got into a vehicle.

Goulet said it is unclear if someone else was driving the getaway vehicle. He said detectives are working on the case, but as of yet, have no suspects.

“There are no arrests imminent. We do have some leads, and have recovered some evidence germane to the case, but no arrests have been made,” Goulet said.

Goulet said the incident is being classified as a robbery, rather than an armed robbery, since a weapon was never displayed.

“He tapped his pocket, he didn’t come out and say he had a weapon, and no weapon was produced, but the pharmacist could infer what he meant,” Goulet said.

Goulet said the rural pharmacy heist is atypical for Maine, where he said most Oxycontin raids occur in suburban or city locations.

“What’s more unusual here is that it happened in a rural part. I consider downtown Naples to be rural, and it’s harder to blend in there than say downtown Portland or Scarborough, where you can blend in more quickly. It’s a little harder to hide in Naples,” Goulet said.

Another unusual aspect of the case was that the robber was dressed for cold weather, despite warm temperatures outside. Goulet said the man was wearing a camouflage winter jacket, black ski gloves, and a black ski hat, in addition to dark sunglasses.

Goulet said there were several people shopping in the store at the time, but no one was hurt and most customers didn’t know what was happening.

Goulet expects the robber is most likely an Oxycontin user, rather than dealer.

“Generally speaking, most (pharmacy) robberies I see in Maine usually involve users and people who are hard-up, versus the (pharmacy) burglaries which involve people who are probably selling them, getting mass quantities of several drugs. This guy was only after Oxy(contin)s,” Goulet said.
