Douglas Gray, 37, of Milton, was arrested in Somersworth on Tuesday and charged with two counts of robbery in connection with incidents at the Rite Aid Pharmacy in Farmington on Dec. 29, 2008, and the Rite Aid Pharmacy in Rochester on February 9. Rochester police, working with Farmington police and U.S. Marshals, identified Gray's residence and worked with Somersworth police to apprehend Gray. He was arrested without incident and was transported to Frisbie Hospital after complaining of an injury to his ankle that is believed to have occurred on April 3 when Rochester police said he fled from authorities in Maine.
According to Rochester police, Gray fled from officers in Berwick, Maine, who were arresting Jocelyn Brown, whom Rochester police identified as Gray's accomplice. Police said that while they were arresting Brown, Gray fled and a K-9 search of the area was unsuccessful.
Berwick police arrested Brown on warrants for conspiracy to commit robbery in regard to the pharmacy robbery in Farmington and criminal liability for the Rochester robbery. Both charges are felonies, and Brown, 24, of Milton, remained held Maine on Tuesday, awaiting extradition to New Hampshire. Gray remained held in Rochester.
In addition to the arrest, Rochester police said they continue to investigate a robbery at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on Milton Road in Rochester. In this incident, Rochester police ask you to contact them at their number below, or contact the Rochester Crime Line by dialing 603-335-6500.
Rochester police did not comment on whether they believe Gray was involved in the most recent Rite Aid pharmacy robbery on April 1. Prescription drugs, including OxyContin and oxycodone, were demanded in the robberies, police said.
If you have additional information regarding these investigations, police ask you to contact either the Farmington Police department by dialing 603-755-2731, or the Rochester Police Department by dialing 603-330-7127.
