NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Police arrested a man accused of stealing thousands of dollars in over-the-counter medications from pharmacies across New England.
The North Attleboro Police Department said its officers were called to a CVS around 3 a.m. Wednesday by a clerk who was reporting a robbery, WFXT reported.
Namor Clarke was arrested after police recognized his car and pulled him over, The Sun Chronicle reported.
The North Attleboro Police Department shared a photo on its Facebook page showing the items seized during the arrest. The items, all over-the-counter medications, covered several tables and were estimated to value more than $11,500.
Officers said there was $4,811 in items stolen from the CVS in North Attleboro that had called to report the robbery, as well as $6,773 in similar merchandise from two other CVS stores, The Sun Chronicle reported.
