Suspects with knives rob Kitchener pharmacy
Waterloo regional police are looking for two men after an armed robbery at a Kitchener pharmacy.
Police were called to a plaza near the intersection of Highland Road West and Westmount Road around 9:15 a.m. Friday.
According to police, the suspects entered the pharmacy holding knives and stole cash and narcotics.
They then fled in a white vehicle driven by a third person. The vehicle was last seen on Highland Road West heading toward Fischer-Hallman Road.
No one was hurt, but the sight of several police cruisers in the plaza was still shocking for some.
“Of course I am very scared why the police are here,” witness Firas Alhjaali said.

The second suspect is described as a brown man in his early 20s, five feet 10 inches tall, with a thin build. He was wearing a black shirt and a black hoodie.
