An armed gunman stole potent prescription drugs at about 5:10 p. m. Sunday from the Walgreens drugstore at 3488 Main St. in the University Heights neighborhood, according to Buffalo police.
The gunman displayed a weapon and demanded that the pharmacists give him Ambien and Sonata, both sleep aids; OxyContin, a narcotic pain reliever; and Lorazepam, which is used to treat anxiety disorders. The robber then ordered the employees to the ground and told them to count to 60.
