At almost exactly 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24, a man with a tote bag stuffed full of goods that he didn’t pay for bolted out of the Walgreens at 300 E. Cornwallis Dr. in Greensboro and quickly drove away, leaving the staff at the store rattled and irate.
The robber – a black male in a red jacket – entered the store with a large tote bag in hand, walked straight to the personal hygiene section in the back of the store and stuffed the bag full of body wash, related products and other items.
The thief made his getaway quickly before employees could stop him on what otherwise was a quiet and uneventful Friday night.
In the age of COVID-19, when everyone in a store is wearing a mask, it’s more difficult to identify people who grab merchandise and run. However, one cashier at the store said that she saw enough to know that the thief was a customer who had been there before. She said she remembered ringing up the man in the past.
One Walgreens’ employee stated that the robber had taken body wash among other items – though, Friday night, store employees weren’t exactly sure what other products were stolen.
Based on the size of the bag he was carrying, the robber got away with quite a few things. He exited the store with a bag that appeared stuffed.
The man was acted as his own getaway driver; he entered the car on the driver’s side before the car’s quick exit.
It is not clear whether store security cameras will provide enough information to identify the man or the car.
The Walgreens is close to the intersection of Cornwallis and North Elm Street, across Cornwallis from Golden Gate Shopping Center. In recent years, there have been quite a few criminal incidents in that area.
And the disease spreads. Major Media glorifying crimes in New York and California, where there is no prosecution of thieves, in fact Walgreens has closed several stores in California because of this exact crime, has emboldened these idiots here in North Carolina. They’re simply not smart enough to think this up on their own.
I was in a Greensboro CVS one day and a young clean cut white male did the same thing. He had a CVS hand basket that was overflowing with bodywash. I noticed because he had so much I thought that it must be a really good deal. I guess it was as I watched him casually walk out the door with all of it. The employees just stood there. Never even called the police as they said he would be long gone before they got there.
Obviously, he needed the body wash to get ready for a big date! Therefore, as the libs say, he needed it more than the store needed the money.
I have lived in the UK and the US, and every single time a member of my family has been the victim of crime, the perpetrator has been black, whether here or in Britain. That’s just a fact.
And? You saying white people don’t commit crimes? Racist much? Must be a Trumper. Not all Trumpers are racists but all racists are Trumpers.
You really do have a problem with facts, don’t you?
I am amazed that you have the temerity to engage with me, after I humiliated you in the last debate.
If I choose, I might do so again.
I do have a problem with racist people such as yourself who think skin color defines a person. Republican true colors you are showing for all to see.
Answer this : if I’m a racist and I believe that skin color defines a person, how come my two best friends are much darker than most African-Americans (one from Colombo, Sri Lanka and the other from Mumbai)?
C’mon, Einstein, what do you say?
I have no doubt you’ll respond – you love the sound of your own voice. But it will be the usual jejune drivel.
So how do you define the number of blacks in prison or were they all innocent
And TRUMP rocks
Rather inappropriate address which race commits the most crimes. What I do know however, is if the criminal votes, he/she/it will certainly pull the blue lever. Why else are the Democrats so bent on giving prisoners and felons the vote? Am I racist? NO. Prejudiced? Maybe.
It’s not prejudice; it’s an accurate assessment of reality.
The Left uses smears like “hate”, bigotry, prejudice and of course, “Racism” whenever someone dares to speak any truth that involves race, no matter how tangentially. It’s their favorite hobby horse.
Could it be that racism endures because it is predicated on reality?
Several weeks ago, I was exiting the Sheetz on New Garden and noticed 2 young black males entering. Before I could get into my car, which was parked close by, the two ran by me with arms full of beer. Obviously, they hadn’t had time to pay. They got into a waiting car driven by a young white male and sped away.
Where is ‘Dirty Harry’ when he is needed?
This reminds me of the craziness of 9/11.Afterwards there was skepticism when getting on an airplane with Muslins.As Americans spoke of muslins as people to be apprehensive of and called them terrorist.Well along comes Hussein Obama who said all muslins were not bad. This is the same evaluation of the black race ,in almost all instances in CAlifornia,the people doing the stealing in broad daylight have been black. Most of this comes because these people,only the ones that want to create problems,because they think society owes them. They usually don’t work and they are a leach on society.The rest of us have to pay for the sins of a few.That could be in the whites as well,and the Spanish speaking people.If a person wants to be stupid he or she will be(stupid).
How about the fact that last June 90% of the looters and people who burned the business downtown were black birds of a feather
I would suggest our GPD canvas the ABC parking lots for a sweet smelling huster selling his wares for libations.
Not theABC stores but the flea market on highway 29. That’s where they can find people selling all sorts of body wash toothpaste razorblades everything is 1-2 dollars I’m sure it’s all stolen
I looks to me that stores need to hire another employee. An armed guard at the exit. And they don’t need to be open all night.
Let the hired guards shoot on sight
