Man tried to rob West Main Street pharmacy of oxycodone…
HYANNIS – At about 7:22pm, several Barnstable Police squad cars rushed to the area of West Main Street and Lincoln Road after a man reportedly tried to rob the Rite Aid Pharmacy.
The suspect did not show a weapon, but according to witnesses he entered and demanded pills. The suspect took off after staff refused to give him the oxycodone he was looking for.
