Surveillance video shows the man walking into the store and pulling out a gun. He then approaches the counter and passes a pharmacist a list and a bag, all while wearing the motorcycle helmet.
The robber jumps over the counter and followed the pharmacist to a safe, Channel 2 reported. He told her to get on the ground.
A witness pulled up at the drive-thru and called 911, Channel 2 reported. “I pulled up to the window and I saw people laying on the floors,” Joshua Camp said.
The robber got an array of prescription pills, including percocet and oxycodone, Channel 2 reported. He then sped away on his motorcycle.
Camp said he drove after the man, but the motorbike had no tag.
Police told Channel 2 they are trying to find out if the man is connected to other pharmacy robberies in metro Atlanta. An investigation is ongoing.
