Perps wanted in string of
pharmacy robberies

The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating the following suspects wanted in connection with seven commercial robberies in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
In each incident the suspects enter the pharmacies with their faces covered, armed with a gun. One of the suspects then goes behind the counter and removes cash and drugs from the back offices. The suspects then flee the locations on foot.
The first incident was on Tuesday, January 20, inside of R.O.R. Madison Pharmacy, at 1636 Madison Avenue. The suspects entered and removed an undetermined amount of drugs from the location. On Wednesday, January 28, the suspects entered Joseph Pharmacy but fled before removing any property.
Two and one half months later, on Tuesday, April 7, the perps took drugs from Just In Time Pharmacy.
The following day the perps traveled to Queens, where they held up Briarwood Pharmacy. They displayed a firearm and demanded money and narcotics; the pharmacist complied by placing the items in a backpack the suspects were carrying. The suspects fled the location on foot. There was no reported injury
Then on Sunday, May 24, the suspects targeted the CVS?Pharmacy at 170-05 Linden Boulevard, but fled before removing any property.
Franhill Drugs, Inc., at 204-19 Hillside Avenue, was robbed next, followed by another Just In Time Pharmacy, at 2126 Knapp Street. They made off with an undetermined amount of drugs before fleeing in a black vehicle.
The latest robbery, say cops, was on Tuesday, September 8, when the suspect entered the location and removed narcotics from the rear offices. They fled on foot and there were no reported injuries.
The suspects are described as two males in their 20s or 30s. They are both approximately 5’11” tall and weigh 165 pounds.
