Three men steal bags full of merchandise at Bethesda CVS

Three men walked into a south Bethesda CVS Pharmacy on May 10 carrying large cloth laundry bags and left with the bags stuffed full of high-end skincare products, according to police. Detectives released security footage on Tuesday of the suspects and are asking for the public's help identifying them.

The incident occurred during the day in a shopping center on Sangamore Road near the Washington, D.C. border called The Shops at Sumner Place. Police did not specify the exact time of the incident and did not mention the presence of weapons in the theft.

Police said during the theft, two suspects wore all-black clothing and the other wore a light-colored T-shirt, cargo pants and black shoes. One of the two suspects in black wore a T-shirt with the words "The North Face" written across the front in white lettering.

Video of the robbery has also been circulating on Twitter and has been published by WUSA9. It shows one of the suspects stuffing a bag full of merchandise and walking away while a CVS employee watches.
