Some workers in Durham were terrorized by a brazen robbery when a pharmacy owned by two sisters was robbed at gunpoint for a second time. The robbery happened in broad daylight at Triangle Pharmacy on NC 54.

“I was one aisle back when they came in, and I was just shocked because, you know, they come in and they say, get down, get down,” Missy Field, one of the owners of Triangle Pharmacy, said in a WTVD report. “And you know, I’m just not prepared for that. You know, we’re here every day greeting customers. And that’s just not something you expect.” 

Surveillance cameras showed two people rushed into the pharmacy, one of them armed with a gun.

The robbers demanded pills and money after one of the culprits jumped on the counter.

Nobody was injured in the robbery. 

The owners have been part of the Durham community for almost 50 years. While nobody is in custody, police hope they will be able to use the video to help identify the suspects.
