FLORENCE, Ky. - A bald man stealing Rogaine from Tri-State stores has struck again at three stores in Florence, according to police.

Police say the man hit a CVS and two Walgreens stores. He's believed to be driving a white Jeep Cherokee, police said.

Police believe he's the same man who took thousands of dollars worth of Rogaine and Prevegen hair growth supplements from stores in Mount Healthy, North College Hill and West Chester, as well as others across the midwest.

Police from several departments have been putting their heads together to stop him.

"We're scratching our heads at this, no pun intended, trying to figure out what it is about the Rogaine," said Mount Healthy Det. Chris Jones.

Police say the suspect stole almost $900 worth of Rogaine from the Walgreens on Hamilton Avenue in Mount Healthy. 

Jones said he believes the suspect is reselling the items online.

Anyone with information regarding the Florence thefts is asked to contact Det. Erik Daniels at 859-334-5562 or via email at erik.daniels@florence-ky.gov.
