MAN DRESSED IN DRAG HOLDS UP CREDT UNION

IT'S NOT LIKELY ANYONE REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS A WOMAN--A MAN DRESSED IN DRAG WHO HELD UP THE DESJARDINS CREDIT UNION AT JACKSON SQUARE WEDNESDAY.

POLICE SAY A MAN CLAIMING TO HAVE A WEAPON DEMANDED CASH BEFORE LEAVING THE CREDIT UNION AND FLEEING THROUGH THE MALL.

HE'S DESCRIBED AS A WHITE MALE IN HIS MID-THIRTIES, 5-FOOT-3 WITH AN AVERAGE BUILD.

HE WAS DISGUISED AS A FEMALE, WEARING A WIG, A TURQOISE-COLOURED LADIES' LONG-SLEEVE SHIRT AND WAS CARRYING A BLACK HANDBAG.

ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROBBERY OR SUSPECT SHOULD CALL HAMILTON POLICE OR CRIMESTOPPERS.
