ROYAL OAK, Mich. (FOX 2) - Five men are in custody after a robbery at a Royal Oak pharmacy Friday.
Police said three men walked into Dynamic Care Pharmacy at 4119 W. Thirteen Mile Rd. around 9:35 a.m. wearing dark clothing and ski masks. They demanded controlled substances, and fled with drugs.
Surveillance video showed the suspects getting into a red Chevrolet Trailblazer with two other people. Police worked with Troy investigators to identify the suspects. Oak Park officers also assisted.
The Livonia Police Task Force and the Detroit Police Department helped Royal Oak officers locate four suspects at a home in Detroit. A fifth suspect was arrested in Redford shortly after.
