Two people wearing watermelons rinds with eye holes cut out tried to rob a convenience store, police said.

Two people walked into a Virginia convenience store wearing hollowed-out watermelons as masks, but they weren't trying to protect themselves from coronavirus. Police say they were there to steal.

One suspect, 20-year-old Justin Rogers was arrested May 15 and charged with wearing a mask in public while committing larceny, underage possession of alcohol, and petit larceny of alcohol, according to Louisa Police Department Chief Tom Leary. He said Rogers will appear in court in July. A second suspect has also been identified, but police are not releasing their information due to the active investigation.

The incident occurred May 6, when two people wearing watermelons rinds with eye holes cut out arrived at a Sheetz in a 2006 black Toyota Tacoma, according to a press release from police. They went inside at 9:35 p.m., when the crime was committed.
