CVS employee speaks out after string of thefts across DC region

BETHESDA, Md. - It happened again. Suspects robbed another CVS in the D.C. region Wednesday evening. 

An employee, who we won't identify, spoke exclusively with FOX 5 saying the guys went in with white garbage bags and stuffed them with merchandise. 

The thieves left several shelves bare.

The CVS employee told FOX 5 three men walked in, one wearing a mask, and walked straight to the beauty products section in aisle one. 

A short time earlier, police were investigating whether the same suspects robbed another CVS on MacArthur Boulevard in D.C. 

Around 5:32 p.m., the suspects entered that CVS in the 4800 block of MacArthur Boulevard, and police said they took merchandise and a cash register with cash inside. The suspects then fled the scene in a vehicle described as a black Hyundai Elantra – last seen displaying a D.C. tag that reads JD7704. Surveillance photos were captured by cameras, and can be seen below:

The employee who works at the CVS in Bethesda says she was scared. 

"I’m a little upset because it is constantly happening," the employee said. "[It's] disturbing to our customers. It’s disturbing to the staff. It’s ridiculous. They are going from store to store stealing the most expensive merchandise. I don’t know how they’re selling it. But it’s unfortunate to our customers because there is nothing for them to buy."

A witness says she saw the suspects get away in a white pickup truck. The CVS in Bethesda is currently working with law enforcement.
