Police are looking for a man who robbed a Raynham, Mass., gas station while wielding a massive machete.
The man, described as a Hispanic or Cape Verdian teenager by police, entered the Route 44 Hess gas station at about 11:19pm local time Tuesday wearing a large hooded sweatshirt, a black bandanna and dark colored jeans.
He demanded all of the money in the register while holding the machete and threatened the two clerks on duty. After taking the money, he fled out the front of the store and around back -- police say most likely to a waiting vehicle.

Authorities believe the crime is linked to another from a few hours earlier, where a Papa Gino's pizza delivery man was robbed by a man with a machete.
