Bellevue Police are trying to identify a man who was caught on surveillance video while allegedly robbing the Bellevue Walgreens pharmacy at 140th Avenue Northeast on Jan. 10.

The suspect is described as a white male, age 18 to 22, with brown hair, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and around 160 pounds.

He was wearing a black sweatshirt with tan color around the elbows and writing on the chest, as well as black pants and white shoes at the time of the incident, according to police.

The suspect entered Walgreens at approximately 9:05 a.m., displayed a firearm in his waistband, and demanded tablets of the painkiller Oxycodone, police said.

Anyone with information about the suspect can contact the Bellevue Police Department at 425-452-6917 or e-mail the department's public information officer at ggrannis@bellevuewa.gov.
