Armed robbers stick up pharmacy for painkiller

Police are looking for two men who used force to rob a Simi Valley pharmacy of a powerful narcotic that is often used illicitly.

On Oct. 26 at 9:44 a.m. two men armed with handguns entered The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy at 2925 Sycamore Drive and demanded prescription medication OxyContin.

The employees complied with the demand and then fled the business. The robbers were then seen entering a white sedan and leaving southbound on Sycamore Drive. Both suspects were described as male Hispanics in their early 20s, about 5 feet10 inches tall, medium build and wearing grey hooded sweatshirts and dark jeans. Their faces were covered with cloth material.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Simi Valley Police Department at (805) 583-6950.
