CVS bandit faces judge, denies charges

MIAMI SHORES, FLA. (WSVN) -- A man accused of robbing two South Florida CVS pharmacies appeared in court, Friday.

Forty-four-year-old Todd Gamble was charged with grand theft, petty theft and battery. Police say he walked into two CVS pharmacies and took the cash registers.

Gamble denied all charges as he was taken into custody Thursday morning. "Robberies? I don't know what they're talking about," he told 7News as he was being hauled off in handcuffs.

Gamble was arrested after a 7News viewer called in the tip that led police right to one of his known addresses.

Authorities said he's the man seen in surveillance video walking into one of the drugstores in Miami Shores, jumping behind the counter and ripping out the register. Officials also suspect him of robbing another nearby CVS.
