NEW ORLEANS - The NOPD and the St. Bernard Sheriff's Office are looking for
a 42-year-old man who they say stole cash out of open registers at two
Walgreen's stores this week.

According to a spokesperson with the St. Bernard Sheriff's Office,
Christopher Dunbar has been identified as the suspect wanted in connection
with the Aug. 6 theft at Walgreen's on Elysian Fields and Gentilly Blvd. and
the Aug. 8 theft from the Walgreen's on Judge Perez at Paris Road in
Chalmette.

Warrants alleging simple robbery were issued for Dunbar's arrest in New
Orleans and Chalmette.

Police said Dunbar was last seen driving a gray-colored Chevy Malibu taken
from his mother in New Orleans.

St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann said deputies hope to capture Dunbar
before someone gets hurt. Anyone with information is asked to call
Crimestoppers at 822-1111.

Pohlmann said Dunbar was identified in photo lineups by clerks at the two
stores.

In both cases, he was in line at a register behind others and when the
register was opened he forced his way past them, reached over and stole
money and fled. No one saw a weapon.

Pohlmann said that in the Chalmette robbery, which happened about 2:30 a.m.,
a second man described as older than Dunbar and with gray facial hair was
seen standing outside the store. A witness said Dunbar ran out and screamed
to the other man, "Let's go man, we gotta go,'' and both fled in the gray
Malibu, heading eastbound on Judge Perez Drive.
