Sterling, Va. (AP) - Loudoun County investigators are trying to find a bank robber - but this guy doesn't fit any typical description.
The sheriff's office says the thief stood six-foot-three and was wearing a flowery dress, a dark wig and white gloves.
He was also carrying a purse when he walked into the Washington First Bank in Sterling Tuesday. But the purse was empty on the way out, because despite passing a note to the teller and implying he had a weapon, the robber left without taking any cash.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office at 703-777- 0475.
That is the perp alright.
Helen Thomas?
Too short.
WoW.
Maybe it isn’t a guy. Maybe it’s a woman posing as a man posing as a woman. I bet they didn’t think of that little possibility.
FBI Hunts For Cross-Dressing Bank Robber
January 10, 2005
The FBI is seeking help in nabbing a man who robbed an Atlanta bank dressed as a woman. Witnesses and investigators think the suspect was a man dressed as a woman, said Special Agent Gregory Jones of the federal agency's Atlanta office.
The 6-foot-3 suspect wore dark glasses, a long black wig and a tan trench coat accessorized with a white scarf.
The man apparently walked into the lobby of Wachovia Bank, 3019 Buford Highway, and gave a note to a teller that said he was armed and demanded money. The man left after the teller gave him a bag of money.
It wasn't the first time a cross-dressing bandit tried to hold up a Georgia bank: In September 2003, a mustachioed man wearing a flowered dress and a floppy hat was caught after robbing a bank in Rome, Ga.
