A London man is in custody and facing charges after a pharmacy robbery in the city’s north end.

Police say that on Tuesday at around 6:20 p.m., a masked man entered a pharmacy in the 1100 block of Adelaide Street North.

The man approached an employee with a note. According to police, the note indicated that the man had a gun and was demanding narcotics.

The suspect allegedly removed money from a register inside the store, after which, an employee called 911 and provided a description of the man, police said.

When police arrived, the man was observed leaving the pharmacy, where he was arrested without incident. Police said a search yielded stolen cash, but they found no firearm.

A 46-year-old London man has been charged with robbery with violence or threats and disguise with intent.
