Safeway Robber Makes off with Hydrocodone

Several bottles of Hydrocodone were taken during the robbery of the pharmacy.

From Dublin Police Services:

On Thursday, December 13, 2012, about 12:38pm, Dublin Police responded to a robbery that had just occurred at the Safeway pharmacy located at 7499 Dublin Boulevard. The suspect, described as a white male adult, 5’7”, 225 pounds, facial hair, wearing a grey colored sweatshirt and grey beanie, handed the pharmacy clerk a note stating “this is a robbery." No weapon was seen or mentioned during the robbery and no customers were injured. Per the manager at the pharmacy, there was no money taken, just several bottles of Hydrocodone.


On Wednesday, December 12, 2012, about 1750 hours, possibly the same suspect entered the CVS pharmacy on Regional Street in Dublin. A demand note was given to the clerk and the suspect asked for prescription pain medications. The suspect fled without the prescription drugs after he thought an employee had pushed the alarm button.

Dublin Police Investigations is actively trying to identify the suspect in both incidents. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Sgt. Yesenia Sanchez at 925-833-6682 or Detective Alan Dumatol at 925-833-6684.

Two other similar robberies where reported in Pleasanton over the last two days.

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

No offense, but keep drinking the kool-aid. I don't think all pit bulls are dangerous anymore thanRead More I think great white sharks will get every surfer, but God knows when they bite the person being bitten is in grave trouble!

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
