IN A desperate attempt to avoid the long arm of the law, a suspected pharmacy bandit gave himself a less than convincing haircut as a disguise.
Justin Tayman allegedly robbed prescription medicines from a CVS pharmacy in New Jersey, last month and made his way to a motel where he changed his clothes and trimmed his hair in a bid to avoid being caught, York Daily Record reported.
However, the self-grooming thief fooled no one, as police swooped charging him with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and drug act violations.
Local police reported that Tayman had entered the pharmacy and handed staff a note demanding controlled substances.
"The pharmacist handed over two bottles of prescription drugs and Tayman ran away," the paper said.
"About 10 minutes later, officers located Tayman in a Motel 6. Although Tayman had changed his clothes and cut his hair, it did not fool police."
