NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Two men posing as Uber drivers robbed a 60-year-old woman of pain pills at gunpoint after she left a Bronx pharmacy and got in their SUV, police said Friday as they searched for the armed duo.
The victim was leaving a pharmacy at E. 167th Street and Gerard Avenue in the Concourse section on the afternoon of Dec. 13 when she was approached by the two men around 4:30 p.m. police said.
