On Saturday, Feb. 16 at 2:28 p.m. Golden/Field Royal Canadian Mounted Police responded to an armed robbery at the Peoples Drug Mart in Golden.
Two male suspects entered the drug store wearing toques, sunglasses and hoodies.
The men walked down to the pharmaceutical area where they drew knives and ordered the pharmacists to give them prescription narcotics.
The men got away with approximately 2,000 prescription pills but, the final total has not yet been confirmed according to a representative from the store.
An RCMP spokesperson said the men knew exactly what they were looking for and asked for drugs that included morphine and different types of pain killers.
It was confirmed from the store representative that the men made off with morphine, oxycodone and dilaudid.
The men were caught on surveillance cameras in the drug store and RCMP are still attempting to identify the suspects.
No one was hurt in the robbery but a store employee did say it was a scary event.
The first suspect was described as being a Caucasian between the ages of 25 and 40 with dark short hair. The man was also clean shaven. The suspect was wearing dark sunglasses, a dark toque, ski jacket, hoodie and white running shoes.
The second suspect was a Caucasian between the ages of 25 and 45 and slightly heavier than the first suspect but still a slim build. He had short dark hair and was also clean shaven. The male was wearing a grey toque, dark ski coat, dark sunglasses, dark hoodie and light blue jeans.
Anyone with any information about the men are asked to contact the Golden RCMP at 250-344-2221.
