Some quick thinking by the staff helped avert an attempted armed robbery at a sex shop in San Bernadino. Two female employees at Lotions and Lace chased away the thief with an interesting choice of weapon: dildos.

CCTV footage shows a masked man entering the store and point a gun at the woman who was working behind the cash register. It was when he tried to reach over the counter that the cashier and her co-worker sprung into action and started pelting him with sex toys.
