Investigators are looking for a man who was caught on surveillance stealing $1,200 worth of wigs from an Oakland Park beauty supply store — and the owner believes this wasn't the first time he's robbed the store.

The Broward Sheriff's Office released surveillance footage of the thief entering Discount Beauty Supply Store on Jan. 7. Within seconds of walking in, the man brazenly attacked employees with pepper spray.

"Honestly, I’m not angry, but I feel bad," said owner Shaykat Ahamed, who didn't want to appear on camera.

The man pepper sprayed two of Ahamed's workers, then snatched several expensive wigs made of human hair, worth a total of about $1,200.

The suspect gets into a white SUV and then speeds off.

Ahamed said he felt bad for his workers, who were sick for days after being pepper sprayed.

And he believes the suspect has robbed his store at least four times before. Two of the robberies happened in October, but it was in the middle of the night when the store was closed.
