Police arrest several in city's latest armed robbery

A north side pharmacy was robbed Saturday night by a woman brandishing what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol.

Thunder Bay police say the suspect entered the Shopper’s Drug Mart on Red River Road just before 9 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, demanded cash and made off with an undisclosed amount of money. She was last seen getting into the passenger side of a van, which fled the scene.

Police quickly located the vehicle at a north side residence and arrested several people. A replica firearm was recovered.

There were no injuries in the incident and police say the investigation is ongoing.
