Simi Valley Police said a suspect entered a Walgreens store at 2417 Cochran Street at about 5:27 p.m. Saturday. The man walked around the store for a period of time, then put on a Halloween mask.
With the mask on, the suspect jumped over the pharmacy counter and demanded the pharmacist give him oxycodone pills.
Fearing for his safety, the pharmacist gave the suspect several prescription pill bottles of the drug. The suspect then fled.
No weapon was used. No one was injured.
