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.
