WATCH: Santa impersonator caught robbing Australian post office

TORONTO – Saturday morning turned from nice to naughty for two Australian women as a man wearing a Santa Claus costume robbed the post office where they worked.

Police told Australia’s 9News the female staffers thought the Christmas-clad man was “going to give them some lollies” as he approached the counter. Instead, he demanded cash and then climbed up to reach into the drawer after one woman backed away from the till.

The man wore a wig of white hair and beard be-fitting of Father Christmas, along with sunglasses.

CCTV video captured the incident; police say no one was injured.

The suspect was described as around 6′ tall, driving a cream-coloured Jeep with stolen plates, according to 9News.
