On Friday, January 8, 2021, police said that shortly before 6:00 p.m., they responded to a report of a commercial robbery on the east mountain.
Information obtained at the scene was that two men armed with handguns entered a pharmacy in the area and threatened on-duty staff, obtained an unspecified amount of narcotics and fled on foot.

Police said in a press release issued Wednesday (Jan. 20) that the suspects have been targeting small independent pharmacies after sunset and that no physical injuries have been reported to police yet.
