Spooked Pennsylvania Robber Leaves Mini-Sledgehammer Behind

Police say they're looking for a man who took off after trying to rob a Pittsburgh-area jewelry store with a mini-sledgehammer.

Police tell the Tribune-Review the man walked into Louis Anthony Jewelers in Bethel Park around 6:30 p.m. Thursday but threw down the tool and left without taking anything when someone tried blocking the door.

They say the man fled in a dark-colored van with three men who stood outside when he entered the store.
