An officer with the Laredo (TX) Police Department spotted a suspicious person—wearing a T-shirt over his head as a ski mask, and socks covering his arms up to the elbows—and decided he should look into the matter more closely. It appears doing so may have prevented a robbery.
According to KGNS-TV , the police say the officer approached the man—identified as 17-year-old Michael David Coss—as he was nearing a convenience store.
