The man who has been hitting pharmacies in the metropolitan area, offers a "Buenas," assures the staff that he means no harm and that the money goes on food. He then apologises before speeding off on an e-Scooter.

So far he has ‘visited’ three of the four pharmacies in Peligros with a booty of 1,700 euros in total. In the meantime the police have been scouring the streets to see if they can catch him in the act.

The first robbery (technically a robbery in the case of violence or a weapon being involved) took place on the 16th of this January just after eight in the evening. According to the staff, he walked in wearing a face-mask and a baseball cap. He wished all in the pharmacy a good-natured, ‘good evening’ and then pulled out a knife, which is when the ‘good’ went out of the evening.

“Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to you but I need the money for food, so open the till and say nothing,” he said. With the content of two tills (600 euros) he walked out and rode off on his e-Scooter. We say “his” e-Scooter but it might not technically belong to him…

The staff in this first pharmacy were impressed by his good manners and by his knife, which one female member described as “enormous.”

Two days later, on Saturday, the scene was repeated in a different pharmacy in town. Apparently he did a quick reconnoiter from his get-away vehicle before entering, dressed in the same fashion. Again it was around eight in the evening and the same knife, assurances and splendid good manners took place, leading to 500 euros disappearing into his pockets.

He then climbed onto his e-Scooter, shouted Hi-Yo Silver, did a wheelie and sped off… OK we made that bit up.

The last of the three pharmacies was graced with a visit on the following Monday, but this time just before noon.

This time there were two customers inside when he breezed in. Using the same words and pulled out the 20cm-blade knife. The two female customers commented to the other, “He has a big knife, very big.” He obtained 600 euros again, apologised for the inconvenience and roared off (Ok… hummed off) on his trusty e-Scooter.

Well, one of the chemists commented later, “He must be very hungry to get through 1,700 euros in food in such a short time.” But hey, what do you expect in a town called “Perilous”
