Police attached to Liverpool Local Area Command are currently investigating two armed robbery incidents that occurred yesterday.

About 3pm (Wednesday 5 June 2013) a man armed with a knife entered a pharmacy on Hoxton Park Road, Liverpool and demanded cash from the manager.

Following a brief confrontation, the man fled the scene in a red vehicle with no cash.

About 10 minutes later, a man has entered a second pharmacy on Hill Road, Lurnea and threatened staff members with a knife before demanding cash and medication.

He later fled from the location in a red vehicle with an amount of cash and medicine.

No persons were injured during either incident.

Police were contacted and have commenced an investigation into both incidents, which could be linked.

Investigators would now like to speak to a man who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

He was last seen wearing a camouflage style baseball cap and dark coloured ‘Everlast’ brand tracksuit pants with a yellow and black jacket and yellow high-visibility t-shirt.
