Police are looking for a man and woman who donned wigs to allegedly rob a sex shop and a Subway restaurantthis week.

The couple walked into a Subway on Highway 5 in Waterdown on Feb. 8, sprayed the female clerk with an unknown spray and cleaned the cash out of the till, Hamilton police say.

Both wore wigs and gloves.

Two days later, they walked into a Love Shop adult novelty store on Fennell Avenue West around 9 p.m. wearing the same wigs as during the Subway incident.
