Mark of shame for Texta-mask burglars

Two accused burglars in the US who covered their faces with permanent marker as a disguise were arrested soon after an apartment robbery with their faces still blackened.

Matthew McNelly, 23, and Joey Miller, 20, allegedly tried to break into an apartment in Carroll, Iowa on Friday night before driving off.

After a caller described the burglars as having "painted faces", police pulled over their car a few blocks away to see their faces still covered with permanent marker.

The two were charged with second degree burglary, while McNelly was also charged with drink driving, according to the Daily Times Herald.

The two were released on bond.

Attorneys for the two men declined to comment to the media.
