Four women are wanted by police in Montgomery County for robbing a luxury store last week.
The women are accused of forcing their way into the Givenchy store located inside the King of Prussia Mall at 350 Mall Boulevard just after 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Officials say that the security guard told the suspects that only one person at a time was allowed inside the store. When he opened the door for the first person, that's when all four pushed by him.
One woman took pepper spray, or mace, and sprayed the security guard in the face as well as a store associate, officials said.

As she was spraying the pepper spray, the other women ripped pieces of merchandise from security cables as they sat on displays, according to police. The whole ordeal lasted for less than 30 seconds.
The four suspects then ran out of the store, through the Savor Food Court and got into a vehicle that was waiting for them outside of the mall, police said.
