Clerk uses bug spray to thwart robbery
The Berlin, Pennsylvania clerk said she just grabbed what was closest

BERLIN, PA (KTRK) -- Check out what stopped a would-be robber at a convenience store in Berlin, Pennsylvania.

A woman in a mask tried to rob the store. The clerk says without thinking twice, she armed herself with the closest thing in reach -- and that was a can of Raid bug spray.

Surveillance video shows her spraying the would-be robber right in the face. Then the woman simply walks out empty handed.

The clerk says she just got mad and had better things to do with her night than that!
