Viagra Thief Captured
Posted: Tuesday, 6 April, 2010 | Categories: Viagra
The target wasn’t diamonds, or expensive watches, or even bars of gold bullion – no, the target was Viagra, the little blue pill that fights back against erectile dysfunction. After a series of raids on pharmacies in Spain, Spanish police have reported that they have finally captured that most daring of criminals, the Viagra thief.
The man is accused of holding up 10 pharmacies in Madrid and police began investigating after they began receiving reports of the robberies in January.
Staff at the targeted pharmacies said that the man’s only object seemed to be to take boxes of the prescription-only medication and any cash that was on the premises. He would enter the pharmacy, wave a gun in the air and once the robbery was complete would leave on foot.
The police have said that they believe the man intended to sell the pills on the black market, where they are often used for recreational purposes. Black-market Viagra has become a hugely lucrative field for criminal gangs, who sell them both via the internet and through drug dealers.
The drug is only meant to be taken under a doctor’s supervision and when taken incorrectly or by people whose medical history contravenes them for it can cause dangerous side effects.
The suspected robber , who is 42, was arrested in Madrid and police say that he already has a criminal record. He has been handed over to judicial officials and a trial will be scheduled at a later date.
Man Gets His Bits Out Then Blames Viagra

A man arrested for allegedly exposing himself to another motorist while driving has defended himself by saying that he has just taken the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra. The incident took place in Manatee County, Florida.
A woman driving said that she was driving with her two children when Douglas Benkert Jr. pulled up beside her vehicle in a pickup truck. After looking over, she reported that he seemed to be masturbating. She said that after looking over at her, he continued to touch himself.
She then slowed down, pulled up behind him and called the police. A deputy sheriff from the Manattee Country Sheriff’s office arrested him soon afterwards as he was driving along the freeway.
Mr. Benkert however has protested his innocence, saying he was only ‘adjusting’ himself after taking half a 100mg Viagra tablet, which he had just purchased from a local pharmacy. Upon searching his car, the deputies discovered a bottle of Viagra in the pick-up truck.
Mr Benkert now faces a charge of lewd and disorderly behaviour but has been released from the county jail after posting a bond of $10,000.
