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.
“Thor needed some parts for his Saab?”
So lemme see.. some guy grabs a sledgehammer and storms an Autozone ?
I’ve almost done that. Those guys suck.
Does anyone know if it was a registered sledgehammer???
Was the store a “sledgehammer free” zone???
I’ll get right on it!
“Seems like a lot of trouble for some spark-plugs and wiper fluid.”
Agreed. But I think he was really after a couple sets of “spinners”.
the narrative says this incident occurred at 11:15 PM. I just assume this to be a typo, as if the auto parts store is open just before midnight it would be quite strange.
It’s open until 11 PM.
