Spate of armed robberies of drug stores in Hudson County

And by spate we mean two (that police know of).

Two different drug stores, Carry Pharmacy on Bright Street at Jersey in Jersey City and the America's Pharmacy, on Summit Ave in Union City were both robbed since last Thursday by armed gunmen carrying large caliber handguns. In the robbery in Union City the gunmen were said to be masked. Cash and prescription pain killing medications were stoled at both locations.

As for the Jersey City robbery police said the men fled in an unknown vehicle but it would be our guess here that police in fact DO know what kind of car was used by checking various street cameras located near the scene. In fact we'd be rather disappointed if police had not checked out street cams around the time of the robbery and gotten a make or model of the vehicle. After all, it's why as a society we're told we need these cameras, to make things safer (of course the cameras everywhere never stop a crime from happening, they just make it easier to track down malfeasance, like this particular robbery).
