LATROBE, Pa. (AP) -- Police are offering $2,000 to the person who helps turn in a Santa Claus who robbed a bank and his helper who drove the getaway car.
Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers announced the reward Tuesday hoping to catch the naughty St. Nick -- a bearded man in a red, fur-lined Santa suit and hat -- who brandished a black handgun and demanded money from a bank teller on Dec. 15.
After stuffing the loot in a red bag, the man fled to a tan sedan driven by a helper, police said.
Latrobe is about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.
