Robber forgets skull ski mask, leaves, but returns in North Texas holdup, police say
Mesquite police have an accused robber’s photograph — they just don’t know who he is.
And so, Mesquite police appealed for help on Wednesday to identify a robber who initially forgot his mask, but returned wearing a skull ski mask to rob a person on Jan. 24.
Mesquite police released photographs of the suspect on Wednesday in hope that someone would recognize him and call police.
The photos came from a camera system on the victim’s car.
The robbery occurred just after 3 a.m. on Jan. 24 in the 600 block of Little Bend in Mesquite.
Initially, the accused robber without a mask approached the car, but left.
Seconds later, the video from the car showed that the same man returned, but he was wearing the skull ski mask.
He brandished a handgun and demanded money from the victim.
The suspect was wearing a black jacket with gray sleeves and gray Hollister brand sweatpants with the word “Hollister” on the left leg.
Anyone with information on the case should call Mesquite police at 972-285-6336 or Investigator Renfrow at 972-329-8301 or crenfrow@mesquitepolice.org.
