Two men robbed several Duluth, Georgia, hardware stores of their Weedwackers and chainsaws last Monday. When a police officer gave chase, the men popped their hatchback and sought to repel the lawman Ash-style in Army of Darkness, aiding in their successful getaway.

Vocativ reports:

After the men had robbed $19,000 in Weedwackers and chainsaws from two other stores, the policeman spied the thieves leaving a Howard Brothers hardware at 1:30 a.m. Seeing as it wasn't exactly the right hour for a gardening goods run, the officer turned on his lights and followed in hot pursuit.

That's when they threw chainsaws at him.

At least one of the flying death machines found its mark, doing at least $3,000 in damage to the officer's cruiser and ending the chase three minutes after it started. The two bandits ran from their car and into the woods, where those chainsaws would have also come in handy. They have yet to be found.

A local TV station clarifies that the robbers tossed "three chainsaws and a weed-eater" at the officer pursuing them, who was not injured. Inside the abandoned car, authorities reportedly found nine more weed-eaters and two more chainsaws—or, as Georgians call it, "an Alan Jackson dozen."
