CREEPY: Black Man Wore White Person Mask to Commit Dozens of Crimes in LA
In an incredibly creepy and bizarre story, a black man has been arrested for wearing a realistic latex mask of a white person to commit dozens of crimes in Los Angeles.
According to the Beverly Hills Police Department, 33-year-old Rockim Prowell, of Inglewood, is suspected of over 30 burglaries in the Los Angeles area.
Prowell was arrested on Thursday while driving a vehicle that was also stolen.
Prior to his arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department put out a now-deleted tweet asking if anyone had surveillance video of the man — who appeared to be white. They included stills from footage of two separate incidents. In both, he was wearing a white mask.
“It was odd this burglar’s mouth was always open when seen on surveillance video,” the department wrote in a statement obtained by CBS LA.
