Earlier int he week, we told you about that Monday evening robbery in Valley of Peace which was caught on camera.

3 men wearing elaborate masks barged into Pan Store and stole the cash register after pistol whipping the owner.

The cops told us today that those elaborate masks that the thieves wore are making it difficult for them to identify these culprits:
