PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh police and FBI agents are trying to find a bank robber who wore an unkempt woman’s wig to disguise himself.

Despite the suspect’s goofy appearance, authorities are concerned because the man also had a knife when he approached a teller at the Dollar Bank on East Carson Street in the city’s South Side about 10:15 a.m. Monday.

The suspect, who also wore sunglasses, is described as a tall, thin white man about 5-foot-10 to 6-foot tall, and weighing between 150 pounds and 160 pounds.

Authorities say the man was carrying a blue bag and ran away with an unspecified amount of money.
