A man jumped over an Atlanta Rite Aid counter and filled his backpack with cough syrup, according to police.
An employee told police that the man watched her until she “finished with her last customer.” She said he then hopped over the counter, made eye contact and told her, “don’t move and you won’t get hurt.”
The suspect took 10 bottles of Promethazine cough syrup worth $137.96 and “walked out of the store calmly,” according to the report. The incident happened July 16 at 891 Ponce de Leon Ave.
