You melons! Two men are caught stealing alcohol from a convenience store with WATERMELONS on their heads - and even posed for social media pictures wearing the 'disguises' (12 Pics)
Two men have been caught on camera stealing from a store while wearing watermelons on their heads.
Police in Virginia arrested Justin Rogers on Saturday for misdemeanor larceny of alcohol, misdemeanor possession of alcohol by an underage person and felony prohibition of wearing a mask/face covering in public for the incident on May 6.
The 20-year-old is seen on surveillance camera with his apparent accomplice – who has not been identified - arriving at Sheetz with the fruit over their heads and holes cut out for the eyes.

It's unclear what was stolen in the incident around 9.35pm.
Louisa Police Department managed to detain Rogers after asking the community for help in a May 16 Facebook post where they dubbed the investigation the 'MELON-HEADS' case.
Immediately people shared photos of where they'd seen them earlier in the day.
Debra Blasko said they 'posed for us in Food Lion the other day'.
Another said: 'OMG I was literally in the store at the cash register when they walked in.'
Aside from their attention-grabbing disguises, another Facebook user made fun of their noticeable mode of transport.
One woman said they posed for a picture when she'd seen them that day (left). Another person saw them in the area (right)
Their lifted 2006 Black Toyota Tacoma also helped police identify a suspect with the help of the community
They posted pictures of the vehicle (left) and them inside it (right) on their TikTok channels
'Smart to take your very distinct vehicle to the crime scene,' one man sarcastically wrote.
But the pair had also documented their bizarre outing in a set of TikTok videos.
The clips show them carving out the watermelons, and include a clear shot of one of their faces, before they set out on their troublesome adventure.
If you have any more information, please contact Officer Taylor of the Town of Louisa Police Department at 540-967-1234 or Crime Solvers at 1-800-346-1466 OR Louisatown.org.
The duo even posed for pictures inside a store on May 6. Right a shopper takes a snap of them
