Philadelphia police are looking for a man who claims he robbed a pharmacy last week because he had “a sick child.”

The Philadelphia Police Department released surveillance footage of the robbery taken on Jan. 3 around noon inside a Rite Aid on Ogontz Avenue.

In the video, the unidentified man, believed to be between 30 and 40 years old, enters the store and appears to be shopping. He approaches the cashier with an item in his hand but, instead of paying, he hands over a note that reads in part, “Give me all the money. I’m sorry, I have a sick child. You have 15 seconds.”

The suspect reaches into his pocket and leans over, prompting the cashier to open the drawer and put the money in a plastic bag.

He walks away briefly before returning for the rest of the cash.
