String of pharmacy robberies believed connected, RCMP say
RCMP in multiple communities are on the hunt for suspects following three pharmacy robberies Tuesday.
At 1:40 p.m., two men in dark clothes, hoods up, demanded narcotics from a pharmacy in Airdrie, Alta.
They also got away with some cash, Mounties say.
Then, at 3 p.m., two men held up a pharmacy in Chestermere, Alta., where police say they unsuccessfully tried to steal items from a safe.
A third robbery happened at another Pharmacy in Airdrie at 6:20 p.m.
Police believe the culprits left the first two scenes in a white Acura, with Alberta licence plate CFM 3654.
The car has a broken driver’s side tail light, and front bumper damage.
A grey, older model sedan was spotted at the third robbery.
