Woman and her son are on the run after robbing a Liberty Tax Service with a curling iron.

Witnesses told police that Sonia Watson, a previous customer of theirs, came into the business and waited in line. Then pulled out what they thought was a weapon, it turns out that it was a curling iron with a towel draped over it.

Police had no problem identifying Watson and her son Antonio, as it was only a few days earlier that they had been customers who had given all their information to the staff.

"It was a total shock that somebody who actually had been a customer, where we have every piece of their information, their private information, would come in and attempt something like that," George Hack, the location manager, told WTOL-11.
