Melbourne, May 31 (ANI): Pirates using eye patches and robbers using full face masks on their loot has become passe, for the new-age burglars in Australia are using women's G-strings as masks while raiding a store.

A pair of robbers have been caught on the camera while they tried to raid a store, wearing women's undies for masks, reports The Daily Telegraph.

On their mission to loot a convenience store in Arvada, Colorado, one of the goons wore a green thong, while his partner was wearing a blue one.

And each of the thongs could barely cover the man's nose, mouth and chin and left the rest of his face exposed. However, none of the thieves were carrying arms.

One of them even wore a pink backpack, which he used to store the stolen stuff, mainly cash and cigarettes.

The suspects, touted to be in their 20s, were wearing T-shirts and pants and one of them had a left arm tattoo. (ANI)
