A 37-year-old New Jersey man robbed a Rite Aid at knifepoint of its Percocet twice in the past month, according to authorities.
Andrew Dixon III, of Lumberton, was arrested at about 7 p.m. Tuesday following a brief foot chase outside the pharmacy store on Juliustown Road in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township, police said.
Dixon also robbed the same store on Jan. 7, Lt. Brian Smith said. In both instances, he walked in, showed a knife and demanded an employee hand over all the store’s Percocet. He got way following the first robbery, though, according to police.
Dixon is charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and possession of prescription legend drugs. He was sent to the Burlington County jail.
