If you’re going to allegedly sell stolen items it probably isn’t a good idea to have a full face skull tattoo like this man who has been arrested in the US for burglary.

Adam Roberts has been detained on suspicion of stealing electronic products from a storage facility in Godfrey, Illinois, and police are hoping his distinctive face art will make it easier to find the missing items.

Officers have retrieved some stolen property from the man’s house already but a lot of the items, including TVs and fishing equipment, are still unaccounted for.

Captain Mike Dixon from the Madison County sheriff’s department said: ‘There probably isn’t another guy out there with that tattoo, so if they bought something from someone with a skull tattoo in the St. Louis area, it’s probably this guy.’




Police are urging anyone with information on Mr Roberts to come forward.

‘I’ve seen horns on foreheads and stars on necks, but I’ve never seen a skull on a face. I can’t explain it,’ Captain Dixon added.
