A man wearing gloves and a mask implied he had a gun, then robbed the pharmacy inside the Albertson’s Store at 16199 Boones Ferry Road in Lake Grove Tuesday.

The incident occurred just before 2 p.m., said Lake Oswego Police Capt. Don Forman.

The “suspect demanded and received multiple bottles of oxycontin tablets,” Forman said.

Oxycontin is in a group of drugs known as narcotic pain relievers. It is similar to morphine.

The lone suspect was described as a white male, 5’10,” 210 to 230 pounds, with dark hair, wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves.

A Lake Oswego police dog attempted to follow the suspect, who was initially on foot in the vicinity of Lake Grove Elementary School, 15777 Boones Ferry Road.

At about 2:30 p.m., Lake Grove Principal Sara Deboy initiated a partial lockdown of the school building, said Bill Korach, Lake Oswego School District superintendent. The students were brought inside from recess and all of the external doors except the front door were locked.
