An employee reportedly noticed one of the women hiding a wig inside her purse and confronted her about it. The woman then turned to walk away but the employee reached toward her purse "to take the wig back," police said. 

One of the men then pushed and punched the employee in the face.

When another employee tried intervening, they were punched also several times by the man. From there, the other thieves began stealing as many wigs as they could grab their hands on before taking off.
