Robbery Suspect At Large In Marin County

SAN ANSELMO, CA -- Police are looking for a man who they say robbed prescription medication from a drugstore in San Anselmo Friday night. A man walked up to the pharmacy counter in a Walgreens drugstore in San Anselmo around 8:30 p.m. and handed the pharmacist a note, witnesses told police.

The note said something to the effect of, "I have a gun, open the safe, don't make a ruckus," according to police.

The suspect jumped the counter and followed the pharmacist to the safe, where he took several bottles of Promethazine with codeine, put them in his backpack, ran out of the store and rode off on a bicycle, police said.

The man is described as African American, about 20 years old, with short hair, carrying a backpack. Anyone who may have seen him or might have information is asked to contact Central Marin police at (415) 927-5150.
