CCTV footage shows the man walking in wearing a face mask and holding a walking stick. He gestures to the pharmacists using the stick while pretending to struggle to speak, before surreptitiously pocketing cash from an open desk drawer.
Egypt's Interior Ministry said it is investigating the incident and is in the process of identifying the suspect.
