MASONTOWN -- The state police are looking for the man who robbed Soccorsi's Bar in Masontown, Tuesday night.

It happened at about 9:30 p.m.

An employee says a man in a clown mask hit her with a black pistol and tied her up.

The robber was wearing a black hoody and dark pants.

The mask resembled the clown in the movie "IT."

If you can help with the investigation, you are asked to call the state police in Kingwood at (304) 329-1101.

I read that the bar was closed and the person knocked on the back door and told the bartender he left his cell phone inside. She then opened the door for him and that's when this "apparent robbery" took place. Sounds kinda fishy to me, pre-planned is probably more like it. She called the perp after she closed and the plan took place. Just my opinion : )

WOW, This may take the cake for everything going on in Preston Co. If anyone has ever been to Soccorsi's, they know that Dude has his business on lock down with security camera's inside and out. Along with everyone else in there at the time of the so called "robbery" I find it hard to believe that someone walked in, hit the bartender with a gun and tied her up and NOTHING was cought on camera or someone else in the bar did nothing to try to stop them. This story just does not make sense. Get some new bartenders Dude. RIP Troy

If Preston County doesnt all ready have a bad reputation leave it to the Idiots to keep it going. Most of Preston county residents are trying to clean it up and make it better.
