White robber nabbed wearing African-American 'Hollywood' mask

A robber who marauded in a high-quality mask that made him appear African-American was no match for Ohio cops.

Conrad Zdzierak, 30, has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated robbery after robbing four banks and an a CVS pharmacy on April 9, reports ABC News affiliate WFTS in Tampa.

Detectives say Zdzierak was initially able to elude the cops because of his disguise, an expensive silicon mask called “The Player” valued at around $650.

"The suspect seen in the surveillance photographs and that we were looking for, we believed to be an African-American male. The suspect was actually a male, white, who was wearing an elaborate disguise," Springdale, Ohio, Police Lt. Michael Mathis told WFTS.

Investigators believe Zdzierak likely removed the mask between the robberies in order to confuse the cops who believed they were looking a black man.

The authorities caught a break when they spotted a Volvo with its interior splattered with red dye from a dye pack slipped into a bag used to hold the stolen money.

Police found Zdzierak hiding in a motel bathroom.

"He wore what I’m calling a ‘Hollywood quality’ mask," Mathis said. "These things cost $600-$700."

Police arrested Zdzierak and charged him with six counts of aggravated robbery.

"You are the type of villain we read about in novels and see in the movies,'' Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Melissa Powers told Zdzierak in court last Friday.

Zdzierak is being held on $3 million bond.

Now if michael was hiding....in plain sight..... then something like this is totally possible. for a hollywood mask it looks pretty real

  • This is very interesting. And you know Michael could be dressed as himself and people would automatically think it was an impersonator.

    What the heck? This mask look so real. This white dude looks like he really is a brotha. <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> It looks very realistic. I wonder where he even got a high quality mask and make up like this. Even his neck is black. Now if this guy can pull off something like this the all american white man to a black man then I know MJ could definitely be in some disguises. I really do believe that MJ has been out several times in the public in disguise without anyone having a clue.

    The man looks very real in the pic... <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
    I always thought such a change is very expensive and takes hours with professional support and customized pieces?
    This sounds like you can buy an new face all inclusive - interesting but kinda scary. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    Exactly especially if this dude can turn himself into a black man and look realistic. Anythings possible. He could be walking the streets and nobody even know it's him now that he is presumed dead.
