A black male beleived to be either 19 or 21, walked into the pharmacy at around 7:10 p.m. and handed a note to the pharmacist demanding prescription drugs. After receiving some drugs he fled on foot, but note before the store's surveillance camera caught him on film.

The suspect spoke English with a slight accent and was wearing a Blue Jays hat and an Adidas hooded sweatshirt with orange stripes at the time of the robbery.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Serive Robbery Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).
