Police in St. John's have released a photo of a man who held up a drug store in St. John's on Sunday, getting away with pharmaceuticals and narcotics.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said two armed men walked into Shoppers Drug Mart at 6:30 p.m., and headed to the pharmacy counter.

Both men got away with an unknown amount of drugs. 

One man is described as being between 5'6"and 5'8" in height with an average build.

The second man is described as being between 5'7" and 5"8, with a medium build and wearing loose clothing with a ski mask over his face.

The same Shoppers was held up by two people in May. No one has been arrested in that case, either. 

Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to contact the RNC or Crime Stoppers.
