Police are searching for a woman who used bear mace on several employees at a South Seattle pizza restaurant.

It happened May 11 at the restaurant in the 3700 block of Rainier Avenue South, according to Seattle Police.

Surveillance video released Thursday showed the woman leaving the shop after an extended conversation with staff. Then, she re-entered the store minutes later and sprayed five employees with mace.

The pizza shop closed the restaurant to throw out all the food due to the amount of bear mace that was sprayed, police said.

Police say another woman entered the restaurant four days later, carrying bear mace and threatening employees. She was arrested later that day for witness intimidation.

Police are still searching for the first suspect. If you have any information, you are asked to call 911 or 206-233-5000.
