OLD ORCHARD BEACH — Old Orchard Beach police are searching for the barefoot woman who robbed the Rite-Aid  on Saco Avenue Thursday night.

The woman entered the store at 6:15 p.m., walked to the counter and demanded OxyContin. The woman kept her hand in her pocket as if she had a weapon, police said. The clerk gave the woman some percocet and the woman fled, police said.

Police tracked the woman with a dog to Free Street where the trail disappeared. Police believe she escaped in a car with a man who appeared to have accompanied her in the store.

The woman is described as 5-foot-2, 160 pounds, with brown hair and a pasty complexion, police said. She was wearing a dirty white sweatshirt and plaid shorts with no shoes.

The man is described as 5-foot-8, with a slim build, short black hair and possibly a goatee.

The pair may have left in a black Saab or Jetta, police said.

Police asked that anyone with information call the old Orchard Beach police at 934-4911.
