'Egg-shaped' man sought by police following pepper spray robbery

An "egg-shaped" man aged around 70 years old is one of two people wanted for allegedly breaking into a home in Ontario, Canada, pepper spraying the occupants and robbing them, police say.

Officers were called to a home in Hamilton at around 4pm on Monday. According to the people who live in the home, the suspects broke in, chased them around the place firing pepper spray, and demanded cash and drugs.



One of the residents handed over a small amount of cash and the suspects took off. One of the people who lives in the home chased after them – only to be pepper sprayed again, police say. The suspects escaped the area, police say. The three people who live in the home were treated for minor injuries.

The first suspect is described as an "egg-shaped" white man, about six feet tall and 65 to 70 years old. He has a grey beard, grey hair and was wearing a light coloured "Tilley-style" hat. The second suspect is described as a white man with a beard and dark clothes, who is around 20 to 30 years old and has a bandage around one hand.
