Police are investigating a Thursday night armed robbery of CVS Pharmacy at 2203 Wayne Memorial Drive.

According to police reports, two men walked into the store just after 9:30 p.m. and one of them pointed a handgun at the cashier and demanded money.

The other man walked behind the counter and took $200 from the register, the report said.

Both men walked out of the store and fled the scene heading north on foot.

One of the men was wearing a black and red jacket and black pants. The other man was wearing black pants and a camouflage hoodie, the report said.

Carmon declined to comment on whether or not security footage of the robbery had been retrieved from the store.
