A pervert who wore a horror movie clown mask before embarking on a crime spree has been arrested.
Police claim that while clad in a Stephen King-inspired mask, Joel Hernandez, 22, sexually assaulted one woman and robbed another in Victorville, California, on Tuesday.
Hernandez was slapped with handcuffs following reports of a weirdo disguised as Pennywise snatching cash at an ATM.

The 'IT' alleged attacker was detained by police near the scene of the theft on Amargosa Road and found with a backpack stuffed with his second victim's $500 (£430) cash.
When detectives looked further into the incident, they learned Hernandez allegedly groped a shopper in a supermarket car park just minutes earlier.
The alleged sexual assault victim described her attacker as wearing a clown mask and red sweatshirt which matched the ATM thief.
According to KTLA, both victims were in their 50s.
Charged with robbery and sexual battery, Hernandez has been detained at the High Desert Detention Center with bail set at $200,000 (£173,000).

Elsewhere, a couple have been left mortified by a thief who ran off with at least £700 of money given to them as wedding presents.
Devastated Kayleigh and Ashley Hanrahan saw their wedding day overshadowed by a thief who nicked 50 gift cards with at least £700 in cash from a special postbox set up for their big day.
The gutted couple say there were so many envelopes in the box that it was full to the brim when they went to bed – but when they got up less than 12 hours later, it had been emptied.
