He can be seen handing out candy canes and police say he wished several employees and customers a merry Christmas.
He then walks over to the teller and hands the woman a note demanding she hand over the contents of her cash drawer.
After he got the money, the thief escaped on foot.
Police are still looking for the Santa bandit describing him a black man who was 5’9” tall and weighed 150 lbs.
