Police: Man robbed New Bedford pharmacy, stole from another

Police have arrested a Dartmouth man accused of robbing a New Bedford pharmacy and then stealing from another Monday morning.

 

Nicholas Ouimet, 33, was taken into custody after officers found him slumped over in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at the intersection of Nemasket and Alva streets.

 

Police said the car Ouimet was in had been reported stolen nearly two hours ago from the CVS on Kempton Street. Surveillance footage from inside the pharmacy showed Ouimet going behind the counter and stealing a set of car keys, along with several other items.

 

Ouimet had a crack pipe and a small bag of cocaine on him at the time of his arrest, according to police.
