MILTON — Police were searching Friday for a man who robbed a Milton pharmacy and stole prescription drugs.
A man entered the Mercy Milton Pharmacy, 725 S. Janesville St., just after it opened at 9 a.m. Friday, said Lt. John Conger with the Milton Police Department. The man implied he had a gun and demanded drugs from the three employees there, Conger said.
"They handled it the correct way," he said. "They gave him what he wanted."
No one was injured, and no customers were present, Conger said.
The robber is described as a white man in his 30s, about 6 feet tall, with an average build and medium-length brown hair, Conger said. He was wearing a burgundy shirt, blue jeans, a bucket hat, sunglasses and a painter’s mask over his face.
He was driving a mid- to late-1990s gold or tan Ford F-150 pickup truck, Conger said. The truck had a regular cab, no topper and a dark bug shield.
The man was seen turning north out of the pharmacy parking lot, but police don't know where he went after that, Conger said.
The pharmacy was closed for a couple of hours while authorities investigated, though patients were allowed into the adjacent clinic, Conger said.

I wonder if there is any connection to this and the robbery at Kealey Pharmacy in Janesville? Anybody have the physical description of that subject?
