Store staff said the robber — a slim young male — approached the pharmacist while holding what looked like a small silver handgun.
The robber demanded narcotics.
After taking a small amount of prescription drugs, he fled the store.
A small, dark-coloured pickup truck was waiting in the parking lot. The robber ran to it and got in. The vehicle was last seen heading west out of the parking lot.
The robber is described as white, thin and short — perhaps five-foot-six in height. He appeared to be in his 20s.
At the time of the crime, he was wearing dark glasses and a knitted hat with ear-flaps. The hat was grey and tan in colour.
He also wore red gloves, a green hooded sweater with a red zipper and blue jeans.
