Staff were threatened with a knife during the robbery.
Two people have been arrested in relation to a robbery at a pharmacy in Cork city on Saturday, 6 March.
Gardaí were called to the scene of a robbery shortly before 10pm where a man had entered a pharmacy in Douglas and threatened staff with a knife, before stealing a quantity of prescription tablets.
Gardaí from Douglas and the Armed Support Unit attended the scene but a suspect was not located at the time.
Detective Gardaí from Togher began investigating and gathered CCTV from the area. As a result of the investigation, a man in his 30s and a woman in their 20s were arrested following a search of a house in the city.
A quantity of tablets believed to have been stolen during the robbery were also recovered.
The two people were brought to Togher and Bridewell Garda Stations where they were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
The man has since been charged and is due to appear before Cork City District Court on Monday morning.
The woman has been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
