A masked man with a gun is at large after holding up a Chilliwack pharmacy last Friday evening.

The man entered the Rexall Pharmacy, at 9200 Mary St., at 6 p.m. on Friday, just as the shop was about to close, according to police.

The man pointed what appeared to be a gun at the three employees in the store before fleeing "with an undisclosed amount of goods," Mounties say.

"The victims involved in this robbery are very upset," RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. "It is a really traumatizing event to experience and we are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect."

The robber is described as white, between five-foot-eight and five-foot-eleven, with a stocky build. He wore a grey short-sleeve hooded sweatshirt with a black long-sleeve shirt underneath. He also wore grey baggy sweatpants and black dress shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police, at 604-792-4611, or Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-8477.
