It's quite probable that none of the police officers recognised him. Unless they had happened to be hanging around taking pictures of what was going on rather than attempting to assist their colleagues in danger, I would expect there to be no pictures either.
Being a burglary scene during winter, it was probably night-time.
So, unidentifiable, because no-one really got a good, considered look at him, and no pictures to look at afterwards. It really doesn't require a mask.
