BROOKLYN — Two gunmen robbed a Mill Basin pharmacy of $4,000 worth of Oxycodone and cash earlier this week, police said.

Authorities say the gunmen entered the Mill Basin Pharmacy around 10:25 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 5829 Avenue T., pulled out gun and told the couple behind the counter that they wanted all of their bottles of Oxycodone, the highly-addictive, but popular opioid pain medication.

They also took about $150 in cash from the register before fleeing.

Police described the suspects as about 5-feet-7, between 17 years and 20 years old.

Anyone with information is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential, police say.
