CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Joliet police are looking for two men whose stunt on Sunday cost Walmart about $10,000.
Two men, possibly in their 20's, walked into the Walmart on Route 59 at about 4 p.m. Sunday, according to police. One put on a yellow surgical mask and started spraying a substance on produce, clothing, and items of health and beauty.
He had a handwritten sign on his back reading, "Caution I have the Coronavirus."
The spray was later determined to be Lysol.
The suspects were last seen leaving in a white 2003 GMC Yukon that registers back to Oswego. It appears it will just be a matter of time before they are caught.
Walmart estimates the loss of produce to be over $7,300 and cleanup costing over $2,400.
