LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Police are asking for the public’s help to identifying a robbery suspect who robbed a Koreatown pharmacy.

Surveillance photos were taken on Aug. 24 of a white male who robbed the pharmacy in the 3700 block of Wilshire Boulevard around 9:25 p.m. The suspect gave a note to the clerk, demanding Oxycontin, and simulated that he had a weapon under his shirt, Los Angeles police said.
