Authorities Wednesday were searching for a man who robbed a CVS pharmacy in Imperial Beach.

It happened around 9:50 p.m. Tuesday at the pharmacy on Palm Avenue between Ninth and Delaware streets, said San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Fran Passalacqua.

The thief demanded money from the clerk, who handed over an undisclosed amount of cash before the man fled in an unknown direction, Passalacqua said, adding that no weapons were seen during the heist.

No description of the suspect was immediately available.
