Video of the incident shows the man, clad in a fake bushy white beard, wig, sunglasses and red suit, approaching the counter of the Snell Grove post office with a sack, demanding cash.

Police say the man carried no weapons and that no one was harmed in the incident, though two female postal workers on shift were horrified. "They initially thought that he was going to give them some lollies," Det. Bryan Strangman told 9 News Australia, "and they got quite shaken when they realized it was a robbery." The suspect, described as a white male around six feet tall, fled the scene in a cream-colored Jeep Compass with false plates, according to police.
