A near-naked bandit went on a wild carjacking spree through a Georgia neighborhood while wearing nothing but a tablecloth — until he was ultimately cuffed in the buff.
Peach State cops received a report Friday of a stolen vehicle that was believed to be in the possession of the nude suspect, Mackienzy Kahl, the Gwinnett County Police Department announced on Saturday.
Later that day, police found the vehicle, but Kahl was not inside it. Witnesses told authorities he fled on foot, and officers noticed signs he may have been “exposed to chemicals” while inside the car, cops said.
The chemical Kahl was supposedly exposed to is not immediately clear, though police bodycam footage showed arriving officers discussing whether Kahl had suffered chlorine burns and showed an abandoned pool servicing truck.
While officers searched for Kahl, multiple 911 calls were received about a man matching his description wandering through the area wearing only a tablecloth and attempting to get into several vehicles, police said.
Surveillance footage released by police captured Kahl prowling around in what appeared to be glasses, a pair of blue slippers, and a beige tablecloth draped haphazardly around his waist.
At one point, the birthday-suited thief allegedly entered an occupied home and snatched the keys to a Mercedes before driving off, authorities added.
Officers quickly found the stolen Mercedes, conducted a traffic stop, and took Kahl into custody at gunpoint, dramatic bodycam footage shows.
Kahl has been hit with a slew of charges, including theft by taking, burglary in the first degree, entering an automobile with the intent to commit theft or a felony, loitering and prowling, and driving without a valid licence, cops said.
