Lambton OPP are looking for two people after the Alvinston Pharmacy was robbed.

Police say around 4:30 am Saturday, two people went to the pharmacy in an older model pickup truck and forced their way into the store which has only been open for about a year.

A photo released by the OPP shows one of the people holding what appears to be a sledgehammer and shards of glass all over the floor near the door.

Police say one person is about six-feet tall, heavy build, wearing white brush camouflage coat and pants, a dark blue ski mask and gloves. Police say the suspect also walked with a noticeable limp.

The second person was smaller, but also wore a camouflage Toque, blue coat, black pants and gloves. The second person carried a red and black gym bag.

Police released a photo from inside the store, hoping someone would recognize the suspects.

Police ask anyone is aware of their identity or location, to contact the OPP  or  Sarnia- Lambton Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
