Roanoke Rapids police are investigating the theft of medication Thursday night from the pharmacy of Walgreens following a robbery.

The robbery occurred shortly after 8:30 p.m. when three suspects entered the store. Two went to the pharmacy.

Deputy Chief Andy Jackson said investigators are declining to immediately say whether any of the suspects were armed and are not releasing suspect descriptions at this time.

The pharmacy was robbed of an undisclosed amount of medication.

Jackson said the amounts and types of drugs taken could not be immediately determined until an inventory is taken.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
