Employees of an Adult Store Scare Off an Armed Robber by Throwing Assorted Sex Toys at Him

Surveillance cameras at the Lotions & Lace boutique in San Bernardino, California captured the incredible sight of two female employees fending off an armed robber by pelting him with sex toys that were close at hand. Dodging the barrage, the would-be robber quickly fled. One of the employees told ABC7 that she thought it was a joke.

With the gun, he walked in. I just thought he was trying to be funny, to scare us. …But then I saw the gun and it was like, really? I don’t have time for this.
