Police are looking for a robbery suspect who used a meat cleaver to make off with cash.
"That's just crazy! Who brings a meat cleaver to a convenient store to rob it? That's just crazy," one Seasons patron said.
According to Stoughton police, they responded to Seasons, a 24-hour gas station and convenience store on Sharon Street, just before 1 a.m. Sunday.
The suspect allegedly approached the store on a bicycle. He then chased the cashier behind the counter and forced the victim to empty the cash register.
Police say the suspect was armed with what was described as a meat cleaver.
The suspect made off with the cash, fleeing on his bike.
"Sounds like something he thought of at the last minute. A bicycle is not really good get away vehicle," another Seasons patron said.
