Police in Melbourne, Australia are searching for a man who robbed a suburban post office while dressed as Santa Claus.

Police said: “He’s known for making a list and checking it twice, however Santa is now appearing on a list of his own.”

The man entered the Snell Grove post office in Oak Park this morning disguised as Santa.

He demanded money from a female staff member, who handed over a quantity of cash.

The man, who police said “appeared to be more naughty than nice”, put the money in a red sack before leaving.



No weapon was produced and nobody was injured during the incident.
