白人男子戴黑面具抢劫 |
| A white man who pleaded guilty to six robberies in Ohio used a black mask so lifelike that police initially arrested a black man for one of the crimes, the Daily Mail reported. Conrad Zdzierak, 30, stole about $15,000 in the robberies of four banks, a credit union and a pharmacy that occurred in March and April, crimes in which witnesses reported that the robber was black and surveillance video appeared to show a black man. Zdzierak was arrested at a hotel after his girlfriend called police after she saw reports of the robberies and found two masks and money stained by dye that is used to track it. The masks are sold from SPFX Masks, based in Van Nuys, California. The silicone masks "look and behave like real flesh and muscle," the company's website says. |
