Man with Freddy Krueger mask, machete robs Oak Lawn store

March 8, 2010 3:21 PM

A man wearing a Freddy Krueger mask and holding a machete in one hand and a Bowie knife in the other hand robbed an Oak Lawn store Sunday evening, police said today.

About 7:09 p.m., the masked man walked into the Foodies Food Store, 9652 S. Pulaski Rd., and demanded money, said Oak Lawn Police Cmdr. Randy Palmer.

"The clerk actually said, 'You're joking, right?' and the guy says,' No, I'm serious,' " Palmer said.

The man was holding a machete in one hand and a Bowie knife in the other as he took the cash from the cash register and fled on foot, Palmer said.

He is described as a white man, between 37 and 43 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 280 pounds.

Along with the Freddy Krueger mask, the man was wearing a blue hoodie sweatshirt and khaki pants, Palmer said.

Palmer said the clerk, who was working alone, was able to look through eye holes on the mask to determine the man's skin color.
