Bald suspect wanted for stealing Rogaine from NY pharmacy

Police released this image of one of the suspects wanted for stealing Rogaine from a Long Island pharmacy.

Police are looking for two men, one of whom is bald, caught on surveillance cameras stealing Rogaine from a CVS Pharmacy on Long Island.

Authorities say the men walked into the CVS in Sayville on Dec. 17, placed three boxes of Rogaine in a gift bag and left without paying.

Read original story on NBCNewYork.com

The stolen Rogaine is worth about $150.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.

      Only police would need a picture of a man to figure out who stole Rogaine.

            Easy question to answer... because we live in America.

            By the way, I'm as white as a ghost. I just think the media is biased. Ain't no way in hell a white guy stealing 150 dollars worth of ANYTHING makes National news.

            To clarify, my point isn't about race as much as it is about media bias. If Elizabeth Smart were black and from the inner city, none of us would know her name. Instead, YEARS after the Smart case was settled, we still get updates on her... when she goes abroad for Missionary work, the fact that she's engaged. I guarantee her wedding will be a National news story too.

            Yes Harold, I'm sure nobody cares about the fact that Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and help prisoner for most of her young like, only that she's white. You're the one that pointed out that the guy in the picture is black.

                      As a bald guy... I take this story personally. Screw Rogaine! They stole from me for years! I used that stuff a long time and let's just say I have a large collection of hats to show for it now.
