He’s bad to the bone – in a blue dinosaur onesie and black gloves, allegedly prowling the streets of Nashville for unlocked doors.
City police are asking for the public’s help identifying a burglary suspect caught on video in fluffy dinosaur pajamas digging through an SUV. He’s also accused of clawing through a nearby house while the owners were out of town.
His outfit came with a tail and soft spikes – in addition to black gloves he wore while allegedly helping himself to other people’s belongings.

Police say he broke into a car on Bowling Avenue and burglarized a home on nearby Richland Avenue.
Doorbell camera video shows the suspect emerging from a dark SUV with a bag in his hand and wearing a blue and yellow dinosaur onesie. It happened on Jan. 23, according to authorities, who shared the video Friday.
Along with the getup, he is seen wearing a coronavirus mask hanging from one ear, which leaves his face exposed on the video.
He tries to open the door near the camera, but it’s locked. So he turns and leaves.
