LOS ANGELES - Authorities arrested a man believed to be connected with more than 30 masked burglaries across the Los Angeles area.
Rockim Prowell, 30, of Inglewood, was arrested on Sunday following a traffic stop in Beverly Hills. He was later charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office with two counts of burglary, two counts of grand theft, and one count of vandalism.
Police found items, including a face mask, in the vehicle he was driving that linked him to a string of burglaries, the Beverly Hills Police Department said. They also determined the license plates attached to the vehicle were stolen.
Authorities connected Prowell with at least two burglaries in Beverly Hills. One was on April 20 in the 1900 block of Loma Vista Drive, which helped authorities link the suspect to another burglary, on June 20, 2020, that occurred in the 100 block of Stanley Drive. During both crimes, the suspect stole flat-screen televisions.
When detectives conducted a search warrant at Prowell's home in Inglewood, they discovered stolen items connecting him to additional residential burglaries.
The Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Station said Prowell was connected with seven burglaries in their division.
"It was odd this burglar's mouth was always open when seen on video surveillance," LAPD Pacific wrote on Twitter. "When he was caught breaking into another home we discovered why."
Prowell was released on bond about 6 p.m. Thursday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department jail records.

PHOTO at source-—
Black dude wore white man full face mask and committed 30 burglaries with this disguise. A first as far as I know.
The suspect is from Inglewood. No need to look at photo.
I feel violated by this cultural appropriation.
Won’t make it past ID.
There have probably been hundreds of these, this is just the first to make it past the compliance censors at the msm.
It’s actually funny because the blacks on twitter think white men in black latex masks are the ones actually doing all the crime in Chicago. Probably where this guy got the idea.
He wore a mask, yet he didn’t wear a mask (face diaper).
White man’s brief underpants?
I’m sure that NBC will do a “ White Paper “ on this “ racist “, cultural crime.
Cultural appropriation!
I’m reminded of the old SNL skit where Eddie Murphy gets made up to look like a white dude.
“It’s actually funny because the blacks on twitter think white men in black latex masks are the ones actually doing all the crime in Chicago. Probably where this guy got the idea.”
It IS actually ingenious. Too bad the guy turned his skills to crime.
He was only racist while robbing banks.
Inglewood actually has more Hispanic residents than black residents...
Hispanic 50.6%...Black 40.9%...
Maybe the guy watched POINT BREAK...It was directed by Kathryn Bigelow...She also directed THE HURT LOCKER...
