Officials say Edward Byam, 24, and Akeem Monsalvatge, 37, of Queens, dressed in NYPD gear and wearing high-end masks, robbed a Pay-O-Matic in Rosedale on Valentine's Day.
After getting away with the heist, Byam wrote a short thank you note to Composite Effects, the makers of the mask, to show his gratitude for the 'realism' of the disguise.
They identified themselves as detectives at the store, wearing dark blue jackets with NYPD logos and police-type shields hanging around their necks, before making off with the contents of an unlocked safe. Police say the two men stole $200,000 from the store.
Thick gloves covered their skin completely, and dark glasses hid their eyes, making it near impossible to identify them....
‘We don’t know if they are white, black or Hispanic. People in the neighbourhood saw them in the van for two or three days before the robbery,' a police spokesman said at the time. 'They saw three white guys.’...

Two more Obama voters caught in the act.....
I’ve heard about this company and their masks are quite realistic.
I was wondering how long it would take before somebody took advantage of it.
Should work out good for me.....
This is what should scare us the most. We can’t tell the perps from the real police. It is one very important reason why police should never ever have no knock entries at 4AM unless it is a rare life and death hostage or kidnapping situation.
No way should they enter a home like that looking for a marijuana seller or parking ticket scofflaw or some other non-life threatening felony. It needs to be limited to only the most violent perps who committed the most heinous of crimes, and the address heeds to be checked multiple ways and not by word of a low life snitch.
Looks like John Travolta.
That was an awesome movie!
Hoodies. Why am I not surprised.
Remembering the article from the other day about the black boys who are scared they will end up like trayvon. Why doesn’t the black community tamp down on crime committed by their youth?
The MSM will NOT be interested in this story. Doesn’t fit their narrative...
good idea, become a minority and get a job or welfare.
Heck , we could become an Hispanic ,claim we’re illegal and go to school half price, never do any work and then get a diploma.
Watch out, Obama may run for some office in the future wearing just such a mask.
“The MSM will NOT be interested in this story. Doesn’t fit their narrative...”
But they’ll raise hell if James O’Keefe uses one of these to pose as a black person and expose some race baiting organization.
Trying to ‘frame’ while people by wearing Caucasian masks.. HATE CRIME!
The MSM would raise hell if they could catch James O’Keefe jay walking... He’s one of the few people who functions as a journalists rather than a stenographer for Dem PR firms..
indeed, now imagine if it were two white guys disguised as two blacks or hispanics.mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ping!
