Three suspects are in custody following a violent strong-arm robbery at a Bensalem pharmacy on Thursday, involving the theft of high-demand medications. The incident occurred on January 15, 2026, at the Smart Choice Pharmacy located at 1941 Street Road.
According to the Bensalem Township Police Department, officers responded to reports that a delivery driver had been assaulted while dropping off a shipment. Investigators say three individuals ambushed the driver, forcibly stealing two boxes of medication. The stolen haul included popular drugs Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Trulicity, with an estimated street value of approximately $16,000.
The situation escalated as the suspects fled the scene in a gold Toyota. Police report that during their escape, the driver nearly struck a witness who was attempting to record the crime in progress. Thanks to a rapid response from Bucks County 911 dispatchers and patrol units, officers quickly located the getaway vehicle in the 3600 block of Street Road, just a short distance from the crime scene.
A search of the vehicle recovered the stolen pharmaceuticals. Authorities revealed that the heist appeared premeditated; pharmacy staff had reported receiving suspicious inquiries about delivery schedules in the days leading up to the attack. The suspects were identified as 41-year-old Joshua Dupree of Tamaqua, PA; 21-year-old Jahnoi Dawkins of Albany, NY; and a 17-year-old male from New York City. All three have been charged with Robbery, Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, and Simple Assault.
Status Joshua Dupree and Jahnoi Dawkins were arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Michael Gallagher and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10% of $150,000 and $250,000 bail, respectively. The juvenile suspect was sent to the Bucks County Youth Detention Center. The investigation is closed with the suspects in custody.
