FREAKY: This clown spooked shoppers at the Hemel Hempstead Tesco store
The petrifying rictus-grinning joker was snapped by a frightened 15-year-old girl in the car park of a Hemel Hempstead Tesco store. The menace approached families and youngsters outside the supermarket and stalked them in the dark of night on Thursday. The ghoulish cross dressing fiend said nothing, forcing a mum and daughter to lock themselves in their car in the pitch black car park.
