Man Uses Insect Repellent for Robberry Attack - Roseburg

 According to police in Roseburg, a tall, thin man wearing a blonde wig and a white beanie with a green sweatshirt and gloves walked into a restaurant on Mulholland Drive. He sprayed bug repellent on an employee's face, and left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The employee tried to bat away the can of insect repellent, but got a direct spray to the face. That enabled the thief to get away with the undisclosed amount of cash from the register of the Roseburg restaurant.

“This is an extremely unusual case. We’ve had robberies in the past, but the idea of using bug spray as a weapon is a first,” Sgt. Aaron Dunbar of the Roseburg police explained to KPIC
