Police are looking for three men accused of stealing drugs and money from pharmacies in York Region.
According to investigators, three Black men wearing dark clothing robbed a drug store in the area of Bayview Avenue and Mulock Drive in Newmarket around 4 pm Tuesday.
They say the suspects left the scene in a vehicle.
Roughly half an hour later, police got a call about another robbery at a pharmacy on Rutherford Road in Vaughan, west of Jane Street.
Police say the suspects took off in a vehicle with a quantity of drugs.
“The employees were not physically injured during either of the incidents,” police stated in a release on Wednesday.
York Regional Police did not provide security images from either location of the alleged robberies.
Instead, police issued a reminder about how important it is to maintain and update video surveillance equipment.
“Quality images help to identify suspects, can aid in arrests and have a tremendous impact during court proceedings,” police said.
The investigation is ongoing, with police asking anyone with information to contact investigators at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 6630 or Crime Stoppers.
