Broward Sheriff’s Office Robbery Unit detectives seek the public’s help locating a subject who robbed a beauty store taking approximately $12000 worth of wigs and other merchandise.
According to reports BSO detectives responded to a robbery call at a beauty store near the 700 block of East Oakland Park Boulevard in Oakland Park.
According to investigators, one employee was standing outside the beauty store when a white Kia SUV backed into the parking space at the entrance of the business. The subject, an adult male, was caught on surveillance video exiting the passenger side of the vehicle. Both the employee and the subject proceeded to enter the store.
Once inside the business, the security camera caught the subject pepper spraying that employee in the face and grabbing several wigs off the mannequins on the front counter. The video also shows the subject pepper spraying a second employee who was behind the counter before fleeing the store without paying for the items. Surveillance video showed the subject getting into the passenger side of the white SUV then being driven away.
Detectives describe the robber as an adult male wearing a black hoodie with white writing on the sleeves. He had a mask on his face, an orange shirt under his jacket and blue pants.
