Police are looking for two men who jumped a pharmacy counter in St. Paul’s Highland Park, pushed an employee and stole a large amount of prescription drugs.

Officers responded to the Walgreens at 2099 Ford Parkway on Monday about 7:30 p.m. They were told the suspects had entered the store, jumped into the pharmacy’s service window, “demanded very specific prescription drugs” and pushed an employee toward locked cabinets, said Steve Linders, a police spokesman. He said the worker was uninjured.

The robbers cleared out the shelves, taking “a significant amount” of Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Promethazine and Alprazolam, Linders said. They ran from the store. Related Articles Oakdale man sentenced to 30 years for death of West St. Paul father shot as 2-year-old son slept beside him

Both men were described as being in their late 20s or early 30s and having scruffy facial hair. One was white, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall. He was wearing a red sweatshirt with the hood up, pulled tight around his face, and sunglasses. The other suspect was black, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 250 pounds. He was wearing a dark hoodie and jeans with a black and yellow stripe across the back pocket.

Police are looking into whether the robbery is connected to other cases, including one Nov. 16 at the Target pharmacy at 2080 Ford Parkway. In that instance, two men also jumped the counter and stole prescription drugs. They were wearing hoodies pulled up over their faces and sunglasses. The description of one of the men is similar to one involved in Monday’s robbery.
