BEIRUT: Gunmen robbed a pharmacy in eastern Lebanon Thursday, making off with about $1,300 after firing their weapons to intimidate the pharmacist, media reports said.
Three men with pistols stepped out of a white Mercedes, entered Hussein Sahili’s pharmacy in the Zahle village of Torbol, and forced the victim to hand over LL2 million ($1,322) from the register.
The reports highlighted that the robbers fired their guns more than once to frighten the pharmacist and discourage him from resisting.
Meanwhile, the National News Agency said the Army arrested in Sidon two men suspected of robbing a pharmacy Monday near the southern city’s Serail.
A security source told The Daily Star that one of the suspects was arrested in Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp Wednesday, and that the search for his two partners was ongoing.
