I'm disillusioned with Santa Claus

Santa Claus stages armed robbery


A gun-toting man has robbed a Nashville bank while dressed as Santa. The festive disguise included a red suit, furry hat and full fake beard. Wielding a gun, he demanded a cashier hand over money.

CCTV images show the costume clearly but his face is partly obscured by sunglasses. The incident happened at a branch of the SunTrust Bank in Nashville, Tennessee.

Metro Nashville Police department has released pictures and appealed for help identifying him. He is a six-foot tall white man with brown hair, according to officers.

They have not revealed how much money the Santa took. He did not flee the scene in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, but for his getaway used in a grey car which was parked outside a near-by church.
