LYNNWOOD – Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies are looking for the man who robbed a Lynnwood-area drugstore this morning.

Just before 9:30 a.m., a man walked into the Walgreen’s in the 16400 block of Larch Way, went to the pharmacy and pulled out a handgun, sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.

He left with an undisclosed amount of oxyocodone pills, a prescription narcotic painkiller.

No one was injured, Hover said.

Deputies used a police dog to search the area, but the suspect was not found, she said.

The man is described as white and was wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s tip line at 425-388-3845.
