Pills, cash stolen from pharmacy
Nassau County police said they are looking for two masked men who robbed Andrews Pharmacy in Herricks Saturday shortly before 10 a.m.
The men, armed with handguns, went behind the counter of the Hillside Avenue pharmacy and ordered two employees to get on the floor, police said. They told a third employee to fill a black plastic bag with prescription pills, police said.
One of the men then demanded that the register be opened and cash handed over, police said. One victim was told to tie her hands with a phone cord and place them behind her back. Then, police said, all three victims were told to lie on the floor with their heads down.
Police said the subjects fled in an unknown direction. Nobody was injured, they said, and nobody else was in the pharmacy at the time. Police said the subjects wore dark clothing and ski masks. Anybody with information is asked to call 1-800-244-TIPS.
