Ashland Pharmacy Robbed Tuesday Afternoon

Bracey Pharmacy, Centre Street, in Ashland was robbed Tuesday afternoon.

The robbery took place around 4:45pm.

The Republican Herald is reporting that a man entered the pharmacy with an object his sleeve and demanded  prescription medication.  The suspect then fled with a quantity of medication.

This will be the second robbery within the borough in just as many days.  Early Monday morning, the Turkey Hill on Centre Street was robbed as well.

Investigations are still ongoing for both robberies.

Anyone with information on either robbery should call the Schuylkill County Communication Center at (570) 462-1991.  All information will remain confidential.
