A man who wraps his head in gauze and walks with a cane is wanted for at least three drug-store robberies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Norwood Police report he tried but failed to rob the Rite Aid on Walpole Street shortly before 7 p.m. on Tuesday:

Suspect was walking with a cane in left hand and limped. Suspect had gauze wrapped around his head covering his left eye, and gauze over his nose. The suspect passed a demand note for narcotics.
