Thong-faces robbers

Police are hopeful of catching robbers who were caught on camera using thongs as masks.

The skimpy ladies pants left most of the daft duo's faces visible, say police in Colorado.

CCTV cameras caught the pair holding up a convenience store in Arvada, reports Sky News.

One wore a green thong while the other opted for blue - but their noses, mouths and chins were barely covered.

Officers also have a few more clues to work with as one of the men failed to cover up a distinctive tattoo on his arm.

The men, believed to be in their 20s, were not armed. They stole cigarettes and cash which they stuffed in a pink backpack.
