Fake Santa Claus Steals Drugs From Pharmacy

No Reindeer, Sleighs Seen In Area

CHESTER, Va. -- Chesterfield County, Va., police are looking for a man with a familiar description who robbed a drug store at gunpoint last night.

The description: long white hair and beard, a red suit and hat trimmed with white fur, black boots, large belly.

Police Captain Mike Spraker says the Santa Claus lookalike obtained an undisclosed amount of the painkiller OxyContin from the Eckerd Drug Store in Chester.

Spraker said the robber was tracked to the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex, where police believe he got into a car and drove away.

Spraker says no reindeer or sleighs were seen in the area, and he wants any children hearing about the incident to know that police "immediately contacted the North Pole and verified Santa was there. This Santa was definitely an impostor."
