Armed Robbers Strike Mauldin Pharmacy

Mauldin Police are looking for a pair of armed robbers who held up a local pharmacy at gunpoint and fled with hundreds of prescription pills.

A black male and a white female entered Drug Lo Pharmacy at 10 B Winchester Court on Monday, a report said. Once inside, the male suspect pulled a handgun and ordered a clerk to the floor, the report said.

A second employee in the store also was seized and held at gunpoint before the employee could get to the rear of the store to get his gun, the report said. The employee also said he was unable to push the store's panic alarm button when he was ordered back behind the pharmacy desk to retrieve the drugs at gunpoint.

The second employee said the female had a written list and yelled at him, "This is all we want!" the report said. The suspects grabbed 1,174 generic Zanax pills and 90 empty prescriptions before fleeing the store, the report said.

The suspects were last seen fleeing in a gray/silver 4-door sedan, possibly a Buick or Pontiac, with left-bumper damage, speeding away northbound on New Neely Ferry Road, the report said.
