A Cape Coral Walgreens was apparently robbed by an armed suspect late Sunday evening, according to a police report.

The man reportedly told the pharmacist, “I don’t want to scare you, but I have a gun.” The man never displayed a gun, but implied he had possession of one, the pharmacist said.
The man took two bottles of Oxycodone, which the pharmacist had retrieved from a company safe, reports state.
The bottles contained 200 pills, valued at $250.
The suspect is described as a white male in his late 30s,160 to 170 pounds, 5 feet 9 inches tall with a goatee. He was wearing brown pants, a baggy white shirt with lettering, black shoes and a blue baseball cap with white lettering during the alleged robbery.
Walgreens supplied DVD surveillance footage of the incident to detectives with the Cape Coral Police Department.
