Clown, Sidekick Rob Mehlville T-Mobile Store

Two people dressed as circus helpers held up a T-mobile store Thursday.

That's right, a clown and his sidekick tied up a clerk during a robbery at a Mehlville T-Mobile store.

The St. Louis County Police Department said one man was wearing a clown mask and the other was wearing a shirt over his face. They forced the clerk at the store, located on South Lindbergh at Union, into a supply closet at gunpoint.

After tying her they stole 25 to 30 smartphones, according to St. Louis County Police.
