Arlington police are seeking the public's help in identifying a man who recently robbed an Arlington CVS pharmacy.

The incident was captured by surveillance cameras inside the CVS in the 4700 block of Lee Highway. Police have since released the images to the public. The suspect is described as an African American male in his mid-forties. He is further described as standing 5'6" to 5'10" tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has a distinct feature: A grey patch or bald spot in the middle of his short dark hair.
