Man identified in robbery of woman leaving pharmacy

ALTOONA – Police have identified the man they said robbed a 73-year-old woman of her diabetic medication earlier this week.

Altoona police said they have a warrant for Scott Borgess. They said he’s the man seen in surveillance video at Thompson's Pharmacy before approaching the victim as she left the store.

Police said the woman, walking with a cane, picked up a prescription mid-afternoon from the pharmacy. She reported the man asked her several times about her disability and if she needed help. But instead of help, he snatched her medication.

Anyone with information about Borgess is asked to call the Altoona Police Department or 911.
