Cigarette Bandit Wore Beer Carton As Disguise

Police in Nebraska are looking a man who stole cigarettes while disguising himself with a beer carton on his head. Lincoln police Capt. Bob Kawamoto said the man walked into a Kwik Shop convenience store before dawn Monday wearing an empty Bud Light box on his head as a mask.


Kawamoto said the man also had wrapped something around one of his hands, suggesting he was armed. But the man never showed a weapon.


Police said the bandit left with nine packs of smokes valued at nearly $50.


Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said Tuesday morning that the robbery was captured on video. She said the man also dropped the empty 12-pack box as he fled, and it will be checked for fingerprints.
