Shaun Miller’s old man act didn’t fool the police.

The alleged drug trafficker disguised himself as an elderly gentleman in a bid to evade capture.

The 31-year-old fugitive, who’d been on the lam since April, donned a highly realistic-looking mask when officers raided a residence he was staying at in South Yarmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Thursday.

But cops saw through the charade, according to a Department of Justice statement.

Police arrested Miller and, in a subsequent search of the property, found two loaded weapons hidden inside a laundry basket.

Officers also discovered almost $30,000 in cash.

Miller was charged in April, alongside several other suspects, with possession of heroin with intent to distribute. He is due to appear for a detention hearing in the U.S. District Court in Boston on Aug. 31.
