NORTH MANCHESTER - An employee of CVS, North Market Street, North Manchester, reported an armed robbery Tuesday at 7:50 p.m., according to North Manchester Public Safety director Jack Fetrow.
An unidentified white male "displayed some type of hand gun" and "demanded" Oxycontin from the store's pharmacist, said Fetrow.
The pharmacist complied, dumping an undisclosed number of pills in a bag for the man, said Fetrow. The man fled out of CVS' back door, Fetrow said.
North Manchester Police have no "solid" leads at this time, said Fetrow.
"This person knew exactly what they wanted," said Fetrow.
Oxycontin has become the drug of choice on the streets, being called "the poor man's heroin" or "the poor man's cocaine," said Fetrow.
The man's estimated age was 25 to 30 and about 5 feet 8 to 10 inches tall with a medium build, according to witnesses, said Fetrow.
Fetrow did not know the amount of pills taken. [[In-content Ad]]
