Masked Men Rob CVS Pharmacy Warsaw police are investigating an early morning armed robbery of the CVS pharmacy at 100 N. Detroit St., Warsaw.
At approximately 4:10 a.m today, two masked men entered the store and displayed handguns. The suspects forced two female employees to the pharmacy and had them lay on the floor. A male pharmacist was then ordered to open the safe and was then also told to lay on the floor.
The suspects then took an undisclosed amount of medications. The employees watched the suspects head to the front door, but could not get out, so they left out a side emergency exit.
