ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Police are on the hunt for a man who held up a CVS at knife point. He was captured on surveillance right before he went inside CVS and demanded money.
“They’ve had this for 24 hours for a long time, and uh, I don’t think there’s been anything that’s happened like this before,” one customer said.
Witnesses say when the suspect gave his orders, he held a knife in his hand. Once he got what he wanted, he took off, possibly jumping into a car in the back of CVS. He’s described as a white 50- to 60-year-old man with gray hair with a scruffy beard or goatee. He was wearing tan boots, black pants, a black hoodie and a black do-rag on his head.

The St. Augustine Police Department said it's leaving no stone unturned in the search for the robber. They even have teams searching the woods.
Some customers say until he’s caught, they’ll stay alert.
“I’m always precautious when I go out,” one man said.
The suspect in the CVS robbery matches the description of a man who robbed a McDonald’s in Palm Coast Saturday. If you know anything about either incident, call police.
