A robbery took place at Boots Pharmacy on Bay View Road, Northam, Bideford, on Thursday 14 May between 6.20pm and 7.10pm, leading to a police investigation.
Three men, who threatened staff, fled the scene with cash taken from the till. No injuries were reported, but the staff were left shaken by the incident.
Police described the suspects as three black men wearing high-visibility jackets over dark clothing and face coverings. Searches are ongoing as officers work to locate the men involved.
Detective Sergeant Gavin Jordan confirmed that enquiries are continuing and reassured the public that there is no wider threat to the community. He also noted that the suspects were not seen carrying weapons during the robbery.
This robbery follows two earlier incidents at the same pharmacy: a suspicious sighting of similar individuals near the shop on 7 May, and an attempted burglary via the roof on 18 April, during which nothing was stolen.
