According to employees, the suspect made them tie each other up before he fled the store
A man wearing a mask from the movie “Scream” and wielding a sledgehammer robbed an Autozone shop in Mira Mesa, ordering employees to tie each other up before he fled, according to police.
The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said the bizarre robbery happened just before 11:15 p.m. Monday at an Autozone located at 9152 Mira Mesa Blvd.
Investigators said the masked suspect approached an employee outside the business. When the two went inside the store, the suspect simulated having a gun and made demands.
There were two other employees inside the store. The man ordered all of the victims to tie one another up before he fled the scene.
Police did not say what the suspect stole. The man was described as wearing a black hoodie and dark pants, though no further details were released.
The case is under investigation. No injuries were reported.
Now there’s something you don’t see every day.
I’m a Sledgehammer-Wielding Man, Mama
Oh, said I’m a Sledgehammer-Wielding Man
And I’m ‘bout to wield my hammer onto you
Color me skeptical ... sounds like an inside job or at least assisted.
There wasn’t anything heavy to pick up and throw at his head?
Seems like a lot of trouble for some spark-plugs and wiper fluid.
Thor needed some parts for his Saab?
Yes, but they were Bosch spark plugs.
Oh. Well then.
that makes all the difference!
Maxwell’s silver hammer will come upon his head.
...
I want to be your sledgehammer
why don’t you call my name
oh let me be your sledgehammer
this will be my testimony....
I refuse to be a victim.
Shot that bastard. GET A GUN!!
Ha!... Here's a perfect place for a slip knot, or maybe a Granny knot, which I've always been told there is no legitimate reason whatsoever for tying.
It's always a problem to motivate the last untied person to tie himself up. He never does a good job.
somebody should have “put him in the zone”
If I was threatened with a Peter Gabriel song I’d hand over the money too!
San Diego leads in Weird,
It might sound cool but I’d just take just about any weapon (maybe even bare hands) over a sledgehammer. You can do a lot of damage...as long as you have 3 seconds to wind up.
reminded me of this great scene from The Warriors..https://youtu.be/zL0ipXUD-uU
“San Diego leads in Weird,”
Has anyone told San Francisco and New York?
