A 30-year-old man has been charged in connection with six Edmonton pharmacy robberies last year.
Police say a man brandished a knife and made threats to pharmacy staff and said he also had a gun.
“The man targeted prescription opioids and cash during the series,” which happened between Jan. 3 and Feb. 21, 2022, police said.
Six pharmacies were robbed — Edgemont Pharmacy on Lessard Road, Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy on Millbourne Road, Pharmasave Pharmacy on 75 Street, Pharmasave on Winterburn Road, Pharmasave on 149 Street and Compassion Pharmacy on Chapelle Way.
