EDMONDS — The robber took precautions.
Police are looking for help identifying a man who concealed his face with a surgical mask and hooded sweatshirt during a pharmacy robbery Tuesday afternoon.
The robbery of the Edmonds Pharmacy occurred just after 4 p.m. in the 7600 block of 212th St. SW, Edmonds police Sgt. Don Anderson said.
The suspect wore a gray hooded sweatshirt under a black jacket, gray sweatpants, dark shoes and a surgical glove on his left hand, Anderson said. He partially disclosed what appeared to be a black semi-automatic handgun under his clothing.
He showed the employee a note written in a dark colored marker demanding Oxycontin and morphine.
Employees described the suspect as a man of unknown race or age who is about 6 feet tall and weighs roughly 180 pounds. He fled east from the store.
The suspect’s face is obscured in photos from the robbery but detectives hope someone will be able to recognize him.
If anyone has information about the crime or can identify the suspect, they are asked to call Edmonds police at 425-771-0283. They also may leave tips on the Edmonds Police Department tip line at 425-771-0212.
