A Wauwatosa pharmacist had one answer to a would-be robber who handed him a note demanding Oxycodone and saying he had a gun. "Get the hell out." While the pharmacist would later wonder whether that was the right thing to do – did the guy maybe really have a gun? – his gut reaction worked. The crook got the hell out. According to police reports: At 3:14 p.m. last Sunday, employees of Swan Serv-U Pharmacy, 9130 W. North Ave., reported the attempted robbery. The man had come into the store just before 3 p.m., closing time, and asked advice on an over-the-counter allergy medicine.

Two Wauwatosa West High School students were taken into custody last week at the school on felony warrants for armed robbery, according to police. The students - a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, both from Milwaukee - were implicated in robberies or conspiracies to commit robberies of five Walgreens pharmacies on Dec. 21, police said. The two teenagers arrested, along with two more arrested at the time of the crimes, were not after cash but rather oxycodone, a prescription narcotic often sold illegally on the street, police said. Milwaukee police investigated the incidents as armed robberies because the perpetrators implied they had weapons, although no reports indicated any weapons were recovered. According to a Wauwatosa police …
