Two Pharmacies Robbed in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs Police are investigating two armed robberies at a pair of pharmacies over the weekend.

The first happened at about 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the TLC Pharmacy in the 500 Block of East Costilla Street. Police said a white male in his late 50s or 60s brandished a handgun and ordered all the employees into a back room. He stole various amounts of controlled substances.

About 12 hours later, at a Walgreens drugstore in the 1800 Block of Southgate Road, police said a man walked in, displayed a handgun and robbed that store. The suspect in that robbery is described as a white male in his 40s.

No one was hurt in either robbery.

Police said they will examine surveillance video to determine if more than one suspect is involved.
