LATROBE, Pa. -- Santa can mark himself down as "naughty."
A bearded man in a red, fur-lined Santa suit and hat showed a handgun and demanded money from a bank teller Monday, police said. He made off with an undetermined amount of cash, police said.
"I'm sure he was a little more menacing than your average Santa at the mall," said state police Trooper Steve Barto.
The man fled just after noon carrying a red bag in which he had stuffed the cash, police said. Police said the getaway vehicle was a tan car -- not a sleigh.
No one was hurt during the robbery at the Commercial National Bank, about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.
