A rash of robberies has prompted a Beverly Hills store owner to ban indoor mask-wearing.
store has implemented a new policy prohibiting mask-wearing inside of its establishment, citing a rash of robberies at the store where they could not identify the thieves.
"At Kitson, we prioritize the safety of our staff and customers. We noticed a disturbing trend of individuals wearing masks to avoid identification in various situations including, but not limited to, shoplifting, verbal harassment, and physical assault. The mask mandate may have begun as a health precaution but we believe it is now being used by some people for nefarious purposes. To that end, we enacted our own mandate of sorts.
"This is not something we wanted to do, but it's what we have to do to keep the safety of our employees and our assets," said Hemenway.
