Torrence, Calif. (AP) - An armed robber took $500 and two bottles of Viagra from a pharmacy.

The man walked into the Walgreen's Pharmacy in this city south of downtown Los Angeles and pulled a gun on three employees, demanding the money and the mail anti-impotancy drug, said Lt. Gil Kranke.

Each bottle contained 30 tablets. Each pill sells for about $10.

Police believe the robber, described as a young man in his 20s, was likely planning to sell the drugs on the black market rather thatn use them himself.

"He was pretty young to be needing something like that," Kranke Said.
