Eugene (KMTR) - After weeks of trying to catch a robber who has been hitting Bi-Mart Pharmacies, Eugene police say they have finally got their woman. They arrested a suspect shortly after a sixth robbery Tuesday morning at the Bi-Mart store on West 18th Avenue.

Since September 1, Eugene police say there have been six Bi-Mart Pharmacy robberies. In each case, the suspect was a female wearing a wig and demanding prescription drugs. Tuesday’s robbery was no different, they say.

Officers were called after a woman wearing what appeared to be a wig and sunglasses walked into the West 18th Bi-Mart just before 11 a.m. and demanded drugs.

She took off with some pills she was given, but she didn’t get far.

With help from Springfield and Junction City police, Eugene officers stopped Alanna Crabaugh's car on Royal Avenue in west Eugene and arrested her.

Investigators believe Crabaugh is also responsible for robbing a Bi-Mart Pharmacy in Junction City on September 28.

It is tougher than one would think. First having to talk to witnesses some who dont come up with the same description, second looking at security footage, not the clearest video. also if they do have a suspect there is always a chance of someone looking like the person of interest. these are all things the police have to deal with.
