PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Rewards are being offered to find the bandits wanted for two separate Rite Aid robberies in Philadelphia and Bucks County.

Just before 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 27th, a woman entered the Rite Aid store on the 6900 block of New Falls Road in Levittown, Bucks County.

"She came into the store she demanded Oxycontin, she had a gun up her sleeve, walked back to the pharmacy, pointed the gun to the cashier," said Santo Montecalvo, Citizens Crime Commission.

Police say she placed an empty bag on the counter. The pharmacist complied and the suspect fled.

"Nobody got hurt, thank God," said Montecalvo.

The suspect is described as a white female, about 20-25 years old. She's 5'4" tall, with a thin build and long black curly hair, which could possibly be a wig.

At the time she was wearing a green hoodie, knit cap and aviator sunglasses.

There is a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

A Rite Aid in Northeast Philadelphia was also robbed on Wednesday, April 23rd.

Police say at about 3:15 p.m., a store employee saw a man hiding body wash in his pants at the location on the 4500 block of North 5th Street.

When the employee pursued the suspect in the parking lot, police say the man pulled a gun on him then fled.

"His picture is very identifiable, all we need is somebody to pick up the phone, call us up, let's get this guy identified," said Montecalvo.

The Citizens Crime Commission is administering a $2,500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible in this case.

For both robberies all you have to do is make an anonymous tip call to 215-546-TIPS (8477).
