INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis teen is facing charges in three separate robberies at two CVS pharmacies on the city’s northwest side.
The unidentified 14-year-old suspect was arrested Thursday in connection to the robberies, officials with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said Friday.
The teen is accused of robbing a CVS in the 5500 block of West 38th Street on March 11 and 17 and a CVS in the 3300 block of North High School Road on March 12.
The suspect would reportedly walk in, hand a note to the pharmacist demanding narcotics and run away as soon as he got the drugs, police said.
The teen was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center for processing.

just another example of the inequities of the system and what a poor, misunderstood chronic pain patient must endure to get his life sustaining, legally prescribed and necessary medicine that he is not abusing and only takes just so he can have some quality of life and a modicum of dignity.
Number of “panic buttons”: none. Amount of time spent on training in case of robbery: zero. Crisis counseling after crime: not available. Mandatory courses on metrics: too many to count. Any wonder why a child can rob the place?
