GREENFIELD - The gas station clerk was surprised to see a guy she thought was wearing a penguin costume. But when she saw the gun she knew what was happening.
It happened at 12:15 Wednesday afternoon at the Phillips 66 station at Highway 100 and Layton.
The clerk called 911 and gave this description: "He's a white male and has a penguin suit on with like a scarf covering his face, and he had, I'm not sure if the gun is real. I just saw a gun."
So the call went out: Penguin suit-clad robber on the run.
Officers took a closer look at the store's video.
"He was dressed in a black and a white hoodie underneath which made it look like a costume, but as we look at the video it was just different colored hoodies that he wore," says Detective Dave Patrick of the Greenfield police.
Penguin suit or not, as the bad guy waddled off, they did get video of the getaway car.
"Squads were close. He just happened to slip through this time," Patrick explained.
No one in the store was injured and video could help nab the robber.
