GRAND TRAVERSE CO. -- Investigators are releasing a sketch of a man who robbed the Walgreens in Grand Traverse County earlier this month.

On May 11, the man went to the drive-thru at the Walgreens on South Airport near Garfield Avenue and handed the clerk a note.  It  said there was a bomb on the property and demanded the drugs Ritalin and Morphine.  

Investigators said the suspect stole a car near the old Lear building off Keystone and used that car during the robbery.  The stolen car was found in the parking lot of the Aspen Hills Apartments off of Oak Terrace.

If you think you know the person involved, you are asked to contact the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office at 231-922-4550 or the Silent Observer Tip Line at 947-TIPS.
