Brighton pharmacy held up at gunpoint by tall blond guy

By adamg - 3/5/13 - 2:26 pm

Sutherland Pharmacy, 1690 Commonwealth Ave., was held up around 1:15 p.m. by a tall blond man in a mask and a shotgun, who made off with drugs. He was described as lanky, with gray eyes and a full beard and wearing a blue jacket or hoodie and dark gloves.

The pharmacy was held up by a tall white guy seeking drugs almost a year ago, as well.

This is steps from my apartment. Although I feel safe (3 murders in .5 mile radius not withstanding) maybe this will get a few more patrols in the area.

I also live steps away from this area. Generally feel safe but more patrols would not hurt. A little freaked after hearing about this today, though.

So who should lose patrols?

could probably stop. Gunpoint robberies are more important than underage drinking.

Good plan!

18 is legal age to be off on your own. If you aren't ready for that, then no police patrol is going to save you from yourself.

Yikes!

Yeah, block and a half away from me. Still, there are cop cars up and down Comm Ave all the time; not sure adding more would make much of a difference. I've also discovered that there are quite a few undercover officers in the neighborhood. This place's real security issue is the lack of a front window. I'd think that would make it a very tempting target for those intent on evil doings...
