Beverly Hills police were searching this evening for an armed robbery suspect who left a handgun behind, authorities said.
The robbery occurred just before 6:30 p.m. in the 300 block of Canon Drive, Beverly Hills police Sgt. T. West said.
Shots were fired but no one was hurt, West said.
It was not clear whether the robbery occurred inside or outside a Rite Aid drug store, he said.
That pat of the investigation was on hold while police search the area for the suspect, he said.
The suspect was described as a black man in his 20s in a light blue hoodie with a yellow pattern, West said.
Whether he is still armed was not known, as a handgun was left behind.
