Armed Robbers Arrested After Pharmacy Heist in Berlin

Two masked 19-year-olds were apprehended by police after attempting to steal cash and medications from a Schöneberg pharmacy.

The robbery occurred Wednesday evening at a pharmacy in Berlin-Schöneberg, where two masked men armed with knives demanded cash and prescription medications.
The suspects threatened two employees in the pharmacy's storage area and forced them to open the safe before spraying pepper spray in the salesroom.
Police were already on the scene and intercepted the suspects as they tried to flee through the front entrance.
The suspects attempted to hide inside the pharmacy but were arrested in the storage area and bathroom, with knives, pepper spray, and a backpack containing stolen items recovered.
One suspect resisted arrest and injured a police officer; authorities are investigating the incident as a case of aggravated extortion.
