SALT LAKE CITY — Three Walgreens pharmacies in three counties were robbed this weekend and two of the heists apparently were committed by different robbers.

In Logan and Salt Lake City, two locations were robbed by men with similar descriptions, said Salt Lake Police Lt. Lance Vandongen.

The Salt Lake Walgreens robbery happened at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at 909 E. 2100 South. The man entered the store, passed a note to the clerk indicating a robbery and asked for Oxycontin.

On Sunday at 10:38 a.m., a black male wearing a gray hoodie sweatshirt, black ball cap and white surgical mask robbed the Logan Walgreens pharmacy.

Later that afternoon, a robber wearing a Sons of Anarchy hoodie and black ball cap passed a note demanding narcotics at the Walgreens pharmarcy at 2600 S. U.S. 89 around 5 p.m.

Police describe that robber as a Caucasian male about 6-feet-tall, skinny, with scruffy facial hair. He fled the scene on foot.
