PEEKSKILL (AP)—Note to would-be burglars: Don’t dye your hair the color of a clown’s wig until after the break-in.

Police said a Peekskill resident was awakened Tuesday by a burglar who fled with camera and computer equipment. A description of the intruder—including hair dyed a very bright red—was sent to neighboring police departments.

Peekskill Lt. Eric Johansen said that Eduardo Lazcano, 21, got off a bus several hours later near his Ossining home and his fire-alarm hair immediately caught the attention of Ossining police officers.

Lazcano was arrested on charges of burglary and grand larceny.
