Reports of creepy clowns carrying knives and other weapons have been tormenting people in the California city of Bakersfield for the past week, police said Sunday.
In the latest incident, a person telephoned the Bakersfield Police Department on Saturday night, reporting a clown armed with a firearm, said watch commander Lt. Jason Matson:
“We’ve been having sightings all over the city,” Matson said. “They range from anywhere from a guy carrying a gun to a guy carrying a knife running up to houses.”
The mysterious sightings are being documented under the Instagram handle “Wasco Clown.” The photos suggest that more than one clown may be stalking Bakersfield.
