WOONSOCKET – An alleged drug rip involving multiple doses of a prescription tranquilizer has resulted in the arrests of four Massachusetts men on charges of armed robbery, conspiracy and related offenses.

Michael Harris, Kyle Hancox, both 20, and Andrew Tham, 19, all of Middleton, were ordered held without bail following an appearance in District Court on Thursday. Also, Tyler Cameron, 19, of Topsfield, was released on bail.

Police say Cameron was robbed of over 70 doses of Xanax, cash and a cell phone by Harris and Hancox in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn on Cumberland Hill Road about 7:20 p.m. Wednesday. Harris and Hancox were both wearing bandannas over their faces and brandishing knives.
