GORHAM -- Police are looking for a man who robbed the Community Pharmacy on Main Street at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon.

Gorham Lt. Christopher Sanborn said the man handed the pharmacist a note demanding oxycontin.

The suspect, who is 6 feet tall, then displayed a small-caliber handgun. The robber wore a black jacket, green knit cap and had a scarf covering his face.

The suspect fled on foot with the oxycontin and is believed to have entered a vehicle that was waiting for him on Libby Avenue.

He was still at large late Tuesday.

No shots were fired and no one was injured during the robbery, which was reported at 1 p.m. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Gorham Police Department at 839-5046.
