SCOTTSDALE, Ga. - Police are searching for three women who attempted to rob a DeKalb pharmacy in April.

On Tuesday, April 24, police responded to the PCI Pharmacy located at 3500 North Decatur Road for an armed robbery attempt.

The manager of the pharmacy told officers that three women entered the store and pointed a black handgun at him saying, "give me." Before the suspect wielding the gun could finish her sentence, the victim grabbed the gun from out of her hand.

When he did that, a second suspect sprayed mace in his face and then all three suspects fled the store.

Police said they found a pink and gray hat in front of one the suites near the pharmacy. A witness told police that they saw two women running towards a silver Ford Taurus that parked on Lantern Park Lane and was being driven by a black male.

The truck had a temporary tag and had damage on the front passenger side.

One suspect is described as being a black female, 5-feet-7-inches tall, approximately 25 years old and armed with a black handgun. The second suspect was described as a black female, with a heavy build and armed with mace. The third suspect is described as a black female.

This was not the first time this pharmacy had been robbed.

In December 2017, the store was robbed at gunpoint with the suspects making off with several items. The three men in the previous armed robbery video have not been caught.
