"This individual in a Scooby-Doo suit broke into the Quick Stop on Highway 82 in Duncanville.

They asked for help to "unmask this villain."
Playfully posting a picture of Scooby's gang's Mystery Machine van, the police added: "We’ve questioned the owners of the vehicle, but no solid leads yet. Continue to be on the lookout for shady caretakers and don’t meddle if you see the suspect."
Despite the crime, social media users joined in on the fun.
Jeffrey Archetto posted "It actually wasn’t Scooby, it was old man Smithers disguised as Scooby Doo. And he would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling kids."
