Police looking for armed robber in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PJs
The Puyallup Police Department is looking for the man who allegedly robbed a convenience store while armed with a knife and decked out in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajama pants.
According to the Tacoma/Pierce County Crime Stoppers, the man entered the 7-Eleven in the 900 block of South Meridian Street shortly before 2 a.m. Jan. 5, jumped onto the counter and demanded cash.
After getting his money, the masked man hightailed it out of there in his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajama pants, according to the Crime Stoppers.
No word yet if the robbery could be the work of the notorious Foot Clan.
Be sure to check the Foot Clan link! LOL!
They were on a mission for "Splinter."
"Hey! Hurry up and put the money in the bag, dude! I need to get my pizza at Vinnie's! COWABUNGA!" Man, Master Splinter wouldn't approve. Maybe it's Shredder's latest scheme to ruin their reputation. The last sentence says it all! LOL!
MUTANT NINJA TURTLE ROBBER IN Washington State! I suppose its better than being robbed by an elected official in a suit . Only in Washington!!Â
 @Magdalena Bujak About the same, actually.
No description except for the pajama pants?? Really!!!
I was wondering what my 12 year old was doing sneaking out at night...
Maybe if the  Southland Corporation raised the price of Slurpees (TM) by a penny, they could afford this new-fangled High Definition technology for their surveillance cameras? How 'bout you also place a camera BEHIND the cashier facing TOWARD the perps  so we can see their face? Also, (and this is my idea, no need to thank me) have a camera UNDER the counter that shows the perp's shoes. Often this will be the most distinguishable feature of the congregated hoods lurking about on Rainier and Henderson.
@Getov Mylon I was thinking the same thing. These convenient store camera have to be the crappiest cameras going. Then they expect people to recognize the robbers.
A real detective would look at those pants and realize they aren't very old based on the vibrant colors..meaning they haven't been washed much and narrow down potential suspects based on the local welfare check used to buy these from the nearest Wal-mart...
I'm really liking the articles written by Michael Harthorne. Not only are they interesting, but I love the editorial comments at the end. It keeps the news interesting! LMAO The Foot Clan!!!
@The WA Mama Plus Michael Harthorne seems to be the only employee of KOMO who actually looks through the commenting forum, posts comments of his own, and corrects errors that the commenters point out. Just that little bit of effort is really appreciated!
Nice to se Komo's anti-firearm bias is showing, they use this title on the article:Â Police looking for armed robber in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PJs
Â
But only in the article do they mentioned he had a knife. Th intention of this tactic is an attempt to flood people with lots of stories about violent crimes using guns, so they dressed this one up that way. Good job Komo!
editorial freedom at the end ;-) LOL
Of course he will be robbing places, if hes to lazy to get dress, he is to lazy to look for work.
LOL Foot Clan reference.Â
This is not the first instance of people walking around in pajama pants. I have seen this numerous times recently. Is this a new fad, gang thing or just aberrant behavior?
 @Glassman I was boarding the ferry in bremerton the other day coming back to seattle when i seen a over sized lady boarding the ferry in p.j pants. I thought it was just the bremlo fad in bremerton but guess i was wrong.
 @Glassman Usually fat people
No not really - usually teenaged girls - fat and skinny. I've seen them in the grocery store (not even Wal-Mart) in their PJ's and slippers. Adults too. No respect for themselves or others, and just too plain lazy to actually get dressed.
 @Traveler So can we safely say a form of local trash
 @Glassman I notice that, too, I thought the style is just pants that look like pajama pants...
 @Glassman Its pure laziness.Â
 @Glassman Laundry day?
No freakin way! What a moron.
"No word yet if the robbery could be the work of the notorious Foot Clan."
Â
Haha, nice to see some humor in the news.
i doubt the individual working behind the counter thought it was humorous...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell!
Turtle power!
Anyone else start humming this song after reading this article??
 @cm257n7 No, but now I am, thanks!
 @cm257n7 No, just laughing here.Â
