Charges have been laid against five London men in connection with an alleged armed robbery at a south London pharmacy that occurred four years ago, police said Wednesday.
London police say that two masked men held up a pharmacy on Commissioners Road East around 1:45 a.m. on Jan. 26, 2015, demanding prescription medication after allegedly producing an unspecified weapon.
While this was taking place, police were responding to a call of an armed robbery on Southdale Road east — a call investigators say was bogus.

“At the time, investigators believed the two incidents were related,” police said.
Last month, on Mar. 19, police said they received a tip in the case, which led them to make the arrests.
