A black man has been accused of burgling a series of Los Angeles homes while wearing a realistic mask which made him look white.

Rockim Prowell, 30, has been charged with two counts each of burglary, grand theft and one count of vandalism, the Beverly Hills Police Department said.

Officers investigating a string of burglaries in an affluent suburb had noticed the suspect’s mouth always appeared to be open in CCTV footage.

They then realised that the burglar was wearing a mask, which gave him the appearance of a white man with thick brown hair.

Prowell, from Inglewood, was linked to two of the burglaries on April 20 and July 20, 2020, in which flat-screen televisions were stolen.

He was arrested on May 2 during a traffic stop, with officers then finding a face mask and other items that connected him to the burglaries in his car.

The license plates on the car were also stolen, authorities said. A further search of his home revealed more stolen items connecting him to additional burglaries.

Beverly Hills investigators are now working with Los Angeles Police Department detectives and authorities in Newport Beach to determine if Prowell is linked to home burglaries in those cities.

He has now been linked to more than 30 home burglaries in the LA area, Fox News reports.

Prowell has been released from police custody and is will appear in court on May 25, according to jail records.

  1. Free on zero bond? Enough time to commit more crimes and disappear. Possible to become a BLM hero at the same time.

  2. Yeah he wanted people to think a white person rather than black person committed those crimes. Most of the crimes like that are committed by people if color, that’s a reality

  3. ONLY in California would a person with such hard evidence against him be released to appear in court at a later date! He should be locked up with no bail!!!!!

    1. Yes. Yet Trump supporters who were charged with a misdemeanor for walking on the lawn of the “Peoples House”, or sitting on the bottom step outside, talking in their phone? They were arrested, no bail, charged with AT MOST a misdemeanor and are STILL IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 23/24 hrs, food thrown on the floor for them to eat off the floor IF they want to eat. Some are beaten severely enough to pop out the eyeball on one man. Others beaten, daily, cursed at, called slur names and threatened. One FARM COUPLE, who had 2nd jobs to try and survive and pay for their farm, are in separate solitary confinement for 4 months now, no bail, no court date. They hadn’t entered the Capitol; they walked around on the lawn. That’s it. They have both lost their jobs. Their teenaged son is taking care of their livestock and trying to get hours doing odd jobs to feed himself and two younger siblings, and the livestock.

      And this criminal gets OUT, AND NO BAIL.

  4. Nobody noticed the unusally DARK hands as compared to his “face” & “neck” areas? Aside from that, certain facial features would be difficult to disguise. Sad that while he was being so clever, he really wasn’t terribly smarylt about it. The cost of that mask couldn’ve bought him a freaking TV honestly…

  5. Ok,their black. Another Black Privilege…Why is that so shocking ?? Happens all the time.You just never hear about that.And the reason there is more blacks in jail,prison..They do most of the crimes.

  6. You guys are really, really sick. You need help. Psychiatric help. (Fortunately, under Biden’s health care plan, you can get it now.) Even Nazis are permitted … AS LONG AS THEY’RE TAXPAYING AMERICAN CITIZENS, YOU NINCOMPOOPS!!!
    Don’t just repeat what you hear on Faux Noise … Actually look it up and find out if you’re spewing utter bullshit … which you ARE, and you’re PROVING you’re getting dumber every time you open your mouth.

  10. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?|
