The suspect held several white balloons in one hand and used his other hand to point a silver revolver at the cashier as he demanded money, police said.
The cashier turned over an undisclosed amount of money to the “masked bandit,” who then ordered all employees to get on the ground behind the sales counter, police said. He left the store and ditched the vampire mask and balloons behind the building.
The suspect made off with his loot in what police describe as “an older model” Chevrolet or GMC van from the late 1980s or early 90s. The vehicle is blue and covered in swaths of rust, police said.
