A robbery took place at Boots Pharmacy on Bay View Road, Northam, Bideford, on Thursday 14 May between 6.20pm and 7.10pm, leading to a police investigation.
Three men, armed with threats, targeted staff and fled with cash from the till. No injuries were reported, but staff were left shaken by the incident.
Police described the suspects as three black men wearing high-visibility jackets over dark clothing and face coverings. Searches are ongoing as officers work to locate the men.
Detective Sergeant Gavin Jordan confirmed that enquiries are continuing and reassured the public there is no wider threat to the community. He added that the suspects were not seen carrying weapons during the robbery.
The incident follows two previous occurrences at the same pharmacy: a suspicious sighting of similar individuals near the shop on 7 May, and an attempted burglary through the roof on 18 April, during which nothing was stolen.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information or footage from CCTV, doorbell cameras, or dashcams around the time of the robbery is urged to contact the police.
Calls can be made to 101 quoting reference 50260122205, or anonymously via Crimestoppers at https://orlo.uk/kKvIC or freephone 0800 555111.
