Santa robbed a post office in Australia

He demanded money which he then placed in a red sack before making his escape.

POLICE IN MELBOURNE Australia are appealing for witnesses after a man dressed as Santa robbed a post office.

Police said Santa “appeared more naughty than nice” when he demanded money from a female staff member at the post office at 11.30am local time.

The woman handed over a quantity of cash which the man placed in a red sack before making his escape.

He drove away in a cream coloured Compass Jeep with allegedly false plates. Victoria police said no weapons were used and no one was injured during the incident.

We’re sure this can’t be the REAL Santa…
