Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office deputies released surveillance photos of a man who robbed a Scio Township CVS on July 6 and are encouraging anyone who recognizes the man to contact investigators.
The robbery took place about 9:40 p.m. July 6 at the CVS, 5445 Jackson Ave. The man walked into the store as it was about to close and showed an employee a gun tucked into his waistband, deputies said.
The man stole cash from the cash register drawers and the store’s safe before walking out of the store. In the parking lot, the man confronted a woman who was in her car and demanded her phone, according to deputies.
The woman simply rolled up her window and refused to give the man her phone. He then walked away from the vehicle and was last seen heading around the south end of the CVS building.
The Ann Arbor Police Department was called in to track the suspect with a dog. But the dog was only able to track the man in the parking lot, deputies said.
The man is white. He was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt, black jeans, tennis shoes, black scarf on his face, green surgical gloves and and was carrying a handgun.
Anyone who recognizes this man is encouraged to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office anonymous tip line at 734-973-7711 or Detective Craig Raisanen at 734-973-4924.

Domino's Pizza stores in some areas used to have a foyer arrangement that could be triggered to trap the crook between the outer and inner doors. Also, many had height markers painted on the glass so the height of the individual could be noted as they passed through. There should be more methods to catch a thief than these really bad photos.

Do people dressed like this and photographed ever get identified and prosecuted?

I'm curious why it took 12 days to make these images public? What's the hold-up? (haha pun sorry; question is serious)

You know what would be funny? Have some sort of dye-pack installed in the foyer of the store. As the crook leaves, the cashier can set it off, and "poof" all over the perp.

I keep getting told that when we have more cameras, we will have less crime. How is it that this camera did not prevent this crime?

A lot of similarities between this photo and the one of the man who robbed the dollar store in Dearborn.

Weather records indicated around 72-75 degrees at the time. When anybody walks in a store dressed like that at 70 plus degrees its a pretty good sign bad things are going to happen.

Spotting the robber will be hard because hoodies are fashionable now.
