Armed Robbers Hit Pharmacy, Hold Employees at Gunpoint

Two men armed with handguns robbed the Colonial Pharmacy, 1915 N. Cleveland-Massillon Rd., about 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Bath Township police said.

A news release said one man jumped over the counter and forced the pharmacist to the floor, holding her at gunpoint while the second man demanded a clerk open a locked cabinet and fill a bag with narcotics.

The clerk was also forced at gunpoint to turn over the contents of the cash register.

The suspects then ordered the employees to walk to the front of the store with their hands in the air, while they fled out a rear door.

The employees were not injured.
