Clayton County police are asking for the public’s help in finding the man who has held up more than a dozen businesses in the Tara Boulevard corridor, all while wearing a mask made popular in Wes Craven’s “Scream” movies.

In addition to the distinctive white mask, the armed suspect usually wears one of two hooded pullovers, according to Clayton police spokeswoman JaQuitta Williams.

One of those hoodies is blue and purple, and reads “BROWN TRACK.”

The second pullover is burgundy with the letters “BAMA” across the front, but is worn inside-out, so that it reads “AMAB.”

In all of the robberies, the suspect was wearing dark pants and gray and white shoes with white laces.

A witness to one of the robberies reported that the suspect jumped into the passenger side of a dark red or burgundy Jeep Liberty or Patriot.
