Police search for suspects in armed robbery of CVS Pharmacy
Police are searching for three suspects in the armed robbery of a CVS Pharmacy in Michigan City.
It happened around 3:30 a.m. Monday at the store on Franklin Street.
An undetermined amount of money and narcotics were stolen.
The three suspects are described as black males, either juveniles or young adults. They were wearing all black.
If you have any information about the suspects, please contact Detective Corporal Michelle Widelski at 873-1465 ext. #1088 or email mwidelski@Emichigancity.com
The robbers became very agitated and nervous when the time delay safes wouldn’t open. The pharmacist, her name, ironically, is Patience. They threatened her and physically hurt her.
She has a possible broken rib, wrist, and a large cut on her head.
The District Leaders have refused to tell the other pharmacists what happened, standing by the company’s time delay C2 safe protocols.
I’m so pissed. I know these pharmacists. How do they dare not to let others know to be on alert!?!
Many pharmacies – mostly chains – are putting in “timed safes” to store their controlled substances… Pharmacist entering the combination and when the safe will actually open is highly variable. This time – at 3 AM – the Pharmacist on duty was harmed because the safe would not readily open… You notice that the MEDIA did not mention that anyone was harmed… These timed safes were suppose to discourage robberies, apparently not do their job in this incident… how long before a CUSTOMER is held hostage – or threatened with harm – to get the pharmacist to open a save that they have no control over when it will open.
