Pair of Sheetz bandits wear carved-out watermelons as face masks: cops

These face masks were definitely not CDC approved.

And even with virtually everyone wearing face masks these days due to COVID-19, the pair wearing carved-out watermelons over their faces stood out.

So did their actions.

As CNN and 6ABC report, the fruit-faced pair proceeded to steal from the shocked Sheetz in Louisa, Virginia.

CNN reports one of the two has been arrested and charged in the incident from earlier this month:

Justin M. Roger, 20, faces charges of wearing a mask in public while committing larceny, underage possession of alcohol, and petit larceny of alcohol, the Louisa Police Department told CNN.

No word yet on his accomplice who also wore the elaborate, fruited face covering with carved out holes for eyes.

“This is definitely not something you see very often in Louisa,” Police Chief Tom Leary told CNN. “We’re a really nice, quiet town, with a lot of hardworking people and something like this is pretty unusual.”

Two guys walk in with watermelons on their head...

No one thinks this is unusual in these marxist times.

Interesting take for a "news" item.

Appropriate for now but fashion dictates after labor day you should wear a pumpkin mask.

If they’re black the media will refer to the watermelons as fruit.

Cops are singing "Come To Me, My Melon-choly Baby" as they scour the town for the second perp.

Were they from Saskatchewan and Roughrider fans? (But of course, I repeat myself. The Roughriders are the ONLY pro sports team in Saskatchewan!)
