STAPLETON, Staten Island -- A cross-dressing bank robber who donned a silver and black formal dress, silver high heels, a black hat and sunglasses to rob a beautiful landmarked bank in downtown Staten Island Monday is being sought by the New York Police Department and the FBI.

Investigators say the unidentified man also displayed a silver handgun -- that matched his outfit -- during the robbery around 1 p.m. at the Santander Bank at 81 Water Street.

Witnesses describe the robber as a man dressed in a silver and black formal dress, silver high heels, wearing a black hat and sunglasses.

He was later seen on surveillance video in a nearby store pulling off the skirt, and was then seen wearing plaid shorts, blue and white Nike Jordan sneakers and no shirt.

It's nice to see that at least some cross-dressing bank robbers have some sort of fashion sense about them.

I just hope they didn’t have any bigoted rules against him using the ladies room before he finished robbing the bank.

There is a hell of a lot of victim groups represented by this guy, there better not be any prosecutions.

The bank robber’s lawyer pleads innocent to all charges because the wrong gender pronoun was utilized throughout the trial. In fact, “They” plans to suit the County Court Judge for damages to “Their” self esteem.

Until your post, I pictured a white man in drag.

Why did they omit that one detail, after regaling us all with an exhaustive list of his finery?

I’m going to have to try that line on Hubby. “I need a new handgun to match this outfit I’m wearing.”
