The man went into the store in the Miami-area mall and began stuffing candles into his bag. And his grand escape plan included using bear mace on anyone in his direct vicinity.
All in all, police say he sprayed 35 people, including customers, the store's manager, and a dozen staff members. He then ran out of the mall and hopped into a taxi before police could arrive.
Luckily, according to the NY Post, though one person was hospitalized, everyone hit with the mace is expected to make a full recovery.
Once the police do catch him, he's looking at several armed robbery and aggravated battery charges, which could end up being about "30 to 35 felonies" according to a police spokesperson.
