Robber dressed as mummy, wielded hatchet at western Pa. gas station
Police in western Pennsylvania are looking for a man they say used a bizarre disguise when he robbed a gas station.
According to the Associated Press, Trooper Stephen Limani of the state police barracks in Greensburg, Pa., said a man robbed the Buy ‘n Fly in Herminie Monday after wrapping himself in fabric to conceal his identity. Limani tells WTAE-TV that witnesses said the man was wielding a hatchet and “almost had the appearance of a mummy.”
The robber got away with undisclosed amount of cash. There were no injuries.
Investigators are viewing surveillance video of the robbery.
