Police said two men and a woman into the 99 Cent store. The woman approached the cashier and placed several items on the counter. As the cashier was scanning the items, the woman decided that she wanted two of the items canceled, but was holding them in her hand. The cashier then asked for the items, at which time the female refused to hand them to her. One of the men then picked up a bottle of hand sanitizer and threw it at the cashier’s face. The manager then attempted to intervene and was assaulted by both of the men. The woman then pulled out pepper spray and sprayed the employees with it. All three suspects then fled the store and got into a gray Toyota Corolla.
Here’s a video of what happened, according to police.
