Another clever robbery

All of that time, the police were looking for three white robbers...

Somebody deserves an Oscar for special effects.

A crafty trio of black robbers bought amazingly lifelike disguises from a Hollywood special-effects firm to transform themselves into white guys for a brazen Queens heist — and their get-ups were so good, their victims had no clue they were in masks.

The Brooklyn federal court trial of Akeem Monsalvatge, Derrick Dunkley and Edward Byam opened yesterday with witnesses describing how they were completely fooled.

ntending to appear as white cops, the Queens perps wore the NYPD clothing and badges as they pulled up to a Pay-O-Matic in Queens in February 2012 in a Ford Explorer, Cruz-Melendez said.

They would have gotten away cleanly, if they had only remember the line of "loose lips sink ships."

The major break in the case came after police discovered an e-mail from Byam to CFX offering a hearty endorsement after the robbery, according to police.

“I’m sending you this message to say I’m extremely pleased by CFX work on the mask,” he allegedly wrote.

This isn't the first time that the CFX masks have been used:
