A WOMAN armed with a syringe threatened staff during an armed robbery in a Hobart pharmacy on Sat afternoon.
Tasmania Police Detective Sergeant, Greg Lowe, said the woman, aged in her 30s, entered the Discount Pharmacy and escaped with medications.
She was described as being about 160cm tall with a light to medium build, wearing a black baseball cap, a navy blue sports top with possible white stripes down the sleeves and a line of small white writing on the left breast.
She appeared to be wearing light grey track pants and white sneakers.
The robber has dark brown straight hair, which witnesses said was tied up in a ponytail or bun.
She took no money and no one was injured during the incident.
Police could not link the robbery to any other event and at this stage believe she was operating alone.
Information can be provided to police anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperstas.com.au.
