Not all heroes wear capes. Some thieves do, too.
Police in Salamanca, N.Y. are searching for a man they say dressed up as a super hero-- but acted like a real villain.
On Tuesday, video surveillance from a store on Center St. shows a man dressed in a grey Batman costume with a Captain America mask pick up two 18-packs of Budweiser beer from a cooler and leave the store without paying for the drinks, reports WIVB.

Police are asking anyone with information on the man’s identity or insight into the alleged stuff to call in anonymously.
Is dressing up to steal beer a new trend?
