Ohio chrome dome sought in Rogaine thefts

A bald guy in Ohio really wanted the Rogaine;

According to cops, the middle-aged thief has boosted the popular hair loss treatment in repeated thefts at pharmacies, including a Walgreens in Mt. Healthy, a city 15 miles from Cincinnati.

During the $847 Mt. Healthy heist, the suspect also stole Prevagen, a “brain health supplement.”

Police in neighboring Florence, Kentucky report that the suspect has stolen Rogaine from a CVS pharmacy and two Walgreens outlets in the city. Cops estimate that he is “believed to be responsible for several thousand dollars worth of stolen merchandise.”

In a bid to identify the Rogaine thief, police have released store surveillance images showing the suspect inside the Walgreens. The man removed the Rogaine from its packaging before leaving the pharmacy.
