Prescription Drugs Taken In Robbery At CVS Pharmacy: Napa PD

NAPA, CA — Prescription drugs were taken in a robbery Wednesday night at a Napa pharmacy, police said.

At 9:32 p.m. Wednesday, dispatchers received a 911 call about a robbery with a gun at the CVS store at 1558 Trancas St, Napa police Sgt. Aaron Medina said.

The suspect, described as a black man in his 20s, walked into the store and went to the pharmacy, police said.

"The suspect jumped the counter and held an object in his pocket which the victims believed was a gun," Medina said. "The suspect demanded access to the safe where narcotics are kept."

No one was injured in the incident.
