Police are looking for two black-clad robbers who allegedly held up an Alta Vista pharmacy in a brazen daytime heist.

According to Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, the two young men entered the pharmacy, in the 1700 block of Kilborn Ave., just after the store opened at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 17.

Both suspects moved behind the counter, where one of the men allegedly took drugs and medications from filled prescriptions, while the other accessed the cash register.

There were employees in the pharmacy at the time, though no customers, said Haarbosch, who said the early morning timing was “not typical” of pharmacy robberies.

Police spoke with witnesses inside the pharmacy and other witnesses outside, who reported seeing the suspects flee on mountain bikes. No weapons were seen and no one was injured.

One of the bicycles was described as black with grey writing, the other black and red.

Haarbosch said it is likely the suspects reside in the Riverside/Alta Vista area.
