Louisa Police Department makes arrest in “Melon Head” convenience store robbery

By CJ Paschall | May 16, 2020 at 9:00 PM EDT - Updated May 16 at 9:00 PM

LOUISA, Va. (WVIR) - The town of Louisa Police Department says it has made an arrest in a convenience store robbery with a fruit-flavored twist.

Louisa P.D. took to Facebook on Saturday to ask for the public’s assistance in locating two suspects wanted in connection with a larceny at a Sheetz convenience store on May 6. The seedy characters were caught on the store’s security cameras wearing hollowed-out watermelons with eye-holes as masks. The suspects arrived at the store just after 11:30 p.m. in a lifted black Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck.

It is unknown what the robbers stole, or how much money they escaped with.

I've been thinking lately--with everyone incognito, robbers should be going gangbusters.

Man, imagine dying of COVID-19 and, in your last minutes on Earth, you look up to see your ICU nurse wearing one of these. Death with dignity -- NOT!
