Cross-dressing robber arrested after BB gun bank heist in U.S. | Mail Online
A bungling bank robber disguised himself as a woman with a blonde wig and fake breasts – but didn’t bother to shave his beard off.
Dennis Hawkins, 48, completed his bizarre disguise for the U.S. raid with a pair of clown’s trousers.
And it didn’t take much in the way of detective work to track down Hawkins afterwards – he was discovered sitting in a parked car close to the bank covered in red dye from an exploding packet hidden in his stolen cash.
The robber had shop-lifted a toy gun from a nearby shop before heading for the bank in Swissvale, Pennsylvania.
He first sat down in a waiting area and initially turned down a teller who offered to help him, police said.
Shortly afterwards, the raider approached the woman teller and robbed her at gunpoint.
He passed the teller a note that read: ‘This is a hold up. Do not put no dry packs in no money because I will see your family and also your kids.’
CCTV cameras showed Hawkins hiding behind a tree near the bank, opening a money envelope then dropping it when the dye pack exploded.
Detectives said he then ran to a nearby petrol station where he asked bemused motorists for a lift.
