Four teens are each facing multiple charges in connection with a pharmacy robbery late last week in Oakville, Ont.

Halton police say the incident took place just after 4 p.m. Friday at the Pharmasave on Speers Road just north of Dorval Drive.

“One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the employee as the demand was made,” Const. Steve Elms said in a email.

“The four suspects went behind the counter and stole narcotics and cash before fleeing in a light-coloured SUV.”

Police say the suspects failed to stop for officers upon their departure and attempted to evade capture.
