The camera never blinks and Delray Beach police hope to use that to their advantage.
They say surveillance cameras have captured the same man on three occasions leaving a Walgreens store with either a cash register or cash drawers.
Police say his methods are the same: He walks into the store, waits until no one is around and then targets the cash register near the cosmetics department.
The thefts happened in April and May at the Walgreens at 10 South Congress Avenue and the Walgreens at 4999 West Atlantic Avenue.
Police describe the suspect as a balding man apparently in his 40s with short dark hair.
