The robber first approached a Bronte Creek Pharmacy at closing time, threatened an employee with a firearm, and attempted to force entry. but fled empty-handed after a struggle caught the attention of bystanders. The suspect then entered a second pharmacy, brandished a firearm, demanded prescription drugs, and left with the stolen medication. Police warned the public that certain prescription drugs, if misused, can be fatal. Armed robbery is a serious indictable offence under Section 344 of the Criminal Code, carrying a maximum of life imprisonment.
