Police in suburban Cincinnati are on the lookout for a bald man they say has been stealing hair growth and memory aid products from shops.

Mount Healthy police have issued an alert for "a serial thief" they say recently took $847 worth of Rogaine and Prevagen products from a Walgreens store in the city, just north of Cincinnati.

Police are not sure if he is using any of the products himself but suspect he tries to sell them online or at flea markets.

Mount Healthy detective Chris Jones told WCPO-TV that police are "scratching our heads at this, no pun intended", over the thefts.
