OCEAN CITY, Md.  – Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect after they say the individual was involved in a robbery at a Worcester County pharmacy.

According to the report, the note instructed the pharmacist to give narcotics to the suspect and it also advised that violence would be done to Rite Aid and the family of the pharmacist, if they did not provide narcotics.
