Two people held up a pharmacy in St. John's Thursday night.

Police say the pair robbed the Shoppers Drug Mart at the intersection of Freshwater Road and Empire Avenue around 9:40 p.m.

The two managed to get away with some cash and narcotics from the pharmacy.

The RNC say employees believe the robbers were men, but couldn't tell for sure because their faces were covered. Police aren't saying what kind of weapon the robbers had, but nobody was injured
