BARRE, Vt. (AP) - Police in Barre, Vt., are looking for an armed robbery suspect who covers his face in blue tape.

They say a man entered The Medicine Shoppe on Main Street at about 6 p.m. Tuesday with his hand in his pocket and demanded Oxycontin from the employees. Police said he appeared to have a firearm in his pocket.

No one was hurt. Police described the man as 5-foot-11 with a slender build and a blue hooded sweatshirt.



Police say it’s the second time in two days that a man disguised with blue tape has robbed a store. The previous robbery was at the Quality Market in Barre on Sunday.
