Two suspects, one armed with a kitchen knife, fled with narcotics and cash from a Richmond Hill pharmacy Tuesday afternoon.
A man and male teenager entered the pharmacy at Elgin Mills Road East and Redstone Road and demanded cash on Jan. 2 at about 3:30 p.m., according to York Regional Police.
The suspects then filled a bag with narcotics and cash before leaving the store. As they were walking away, one of them slapped an employee across the face, police said.
They fled in a light-coloured sedan.
