The Iowa City police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred just before midnight Nov. 25 at a Walgreens, located on Muscatine Avenue, at the store’s pharmacy.

According to a press release the city of Iowa City released early Sunday morning, two suspects approached the pharmacist at the counter. One displayed a handgun in his waistband, the release said, and the two jumped over the counter to steal an undisclosed amount of medication. The pharmacist was not injured, according to the press release.

The suspects of the armed robbery were described by the release as “two black males, one wearing gray sweatpants, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and black shoes, and the other wearing a dark jacket, dark green pants, white shoes, and a black, flat-billed cap.”

Iowa City Area Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for anyone with information leading to the arrest of the suspect(s) and urges anyone to contact Crime Stoppers, noting all calls are anonymous and those who choose to provide information do not need to reveal their identity.
