MUKILTEO — Detectives are looking for a man who held up a Mukilteo pharmacy Monday demanding prescription narcotics.

The man walked up just after 3 p.m. to the counter at the Walgreens pharmacy in the 10200 block of the Mukilteo Speedway, Mukilteo Police Department detective Lance Smith said.

He had a large, silver-­colored semi-automatic handgun, Smith said.

“He wanted narcotics; he got narcotics,” he said.

The man ran off and the store manager ran after him.

Police were unable to catch the suspect, described as white and in his mid-20s.

Detectives are reviewing surveillance video from the store.

Anyone with information is asked to call Mukilteo police at 425-263-8107.
