McDonalds restaurants are easy targets for quick cash grabs so a hi-tech spray has been developed to help catch the culprits. Developed in the UK by a police officer and a chemist, the spray has been used by McDonald’s restaurants in Britain and Europe.
Once a panic alarm system is set off, a device above the exit doors showers the fleeing robber with a fine spray which remains on the suspect's skin for two weeks and on his clothes for up to six months. The Sydney suburbs of Parramatta, Granville, Auburn, Lidcombe, Kingsford and Wollongong, are trialling the spray and if successful, all 780 McDonalds outlets across the country will adopt the system. The marking can’t be washed off and can only be seen by using a UVA light.
Police in the UK have given the spray kits to residents who fear their property will be robbed and is being widely used by schools and businesses.
