Mounties in Queens County are investigating an armed robbery at the Caledonia Pharmasave. Police say a man walked into the drug store around 10 o’clock this morning and demanded prescription pills. He was armed with a weapon but no one was injured. The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount medication. Constable Laura Cormier-Jones says they believe suspect is in his early 20’s.
The suspect is believed to have left the scene in an older model white SUV. Cormier-Jones says police believe the man hopped into a GMC with two other individuals. The nearby, North Queens Community School was under a “hold and secure” order for about two hours while police investigated the matter. The precautionary safety measure has since been lifted.
