One of the robbers blasted the guard in the face with the liquid, blinding him long enough to take the bag from the Hudson’s Treasure Hunt employee he was escorting.
Police spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said the robbery occurred about 9:40 p.m. in the parking lot after the Hillcrest Road store had closed.
One robber sprayed the guard, while the other grabbed the deposit bag, Levy said. Then the robbers took off and ran behind the store.
Levy said the men were last seen running behind Godfather’s Pizza, next door to Hudson’s.
The 38-year-old female employee was not injured.
Levy said that the robber not armed with the squirt gun had a handgun.
One is described as a black male in his late teens to early 20s, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 130 to 150 pounds, and wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The other robber, Levy said, is described as a black man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a skinny build and wearing a blue jacket with orange stripes.
Levy said that the robber not armed with the squirt gun was armed with a handgun.
“More times than not, the bank deposit robbery ends up being an inside job,” Levy said.
