A young boy threatened to kill everyone at a CVS pharmacy in Indianapolis, Indiana, before leaving with a brown paper bag full of stolen pills on January 19, 2015, according to The Associated Press (AP).
The boy, who police believe is aged 10 to 13 years, entered the CVS in the morning and approached the counter with a note saying he was robbing the pharmacy and needed specific pills. His note also warned that he would kill everyone in the pharmacy if the alarm button was pressed.
The pharmacy employee gave the 5-foot-tall boy the pills he demanded, and then the boy fled on foot with the stolen drugs.
Investigators told the AP that they believe an adult was using the child to commit the crime.
According to The Indy Star, the boy was wearing a gray hoodie, knit cap, dark pants, and dark shoes with trim.
