Three pharmacy robberies reported within two hours Sunday in Bangor, Brewer

BANGOR, Maine Robberies were reported at three pharmacies in greater Bangor within a two-hour span Sunday afternoon, and one man was arrested.

Emergency calls to police were placed from Rite Aid pharmacies in Bangor and Brewer within minutes of each other, and the pharmacy at the Hannaford grocery store on Union Street in Bangor was targeted a little over an hour later.

Police have not said if anything was taken from any of the three pharmacies, but one person Jeffrey Macy, 46, of Eastbrook was arrested by Bangor officers in connection with that communitys Rite Aid incident, and police continued to search Sunday night for at least one other suspect.

The similarities between the descriptions of the Bangor Hannaford suspect and the Brewer suspect have led officers to consider that both crimes were committed by the same man, Brewer police Deputy Chief Jason Moffitt said Sunday night.

Were actively looking at that possibility, the Brewer officer said.

Brewer responded to a robbery call from the Rite Aid on Wilson Street at about 3:45 p.m.

The best description we have is a white male, 5 foot, 6 inches tall with an average build in his 30s, wearing a blue hooded jacket of some sort, Moffitt said.

Video evidence was taken from the store, the deputy chief said.

Minutes later, at 3:50 p.m., the Rite Aid at the corner of Union and Fourteenth streets in Bangor was hit by a man, later identified as Macy, who was quickly taken into custody after taking a spin around Bangor Municipal Golf Course and hitting an officers vehicle, Sgt. Paul Edwards said.

Officers responding were dispatched to the area of Webster Avenue near the Bangor Municipal Golf Course, where the suspect had fled in a 1995 gold Pontiac Bonneville, the sergeant said in a statement.
