Cross-Dressing Robber Holds Up McDonald's

A man dressed as a woman, complete with blonde wig, high heels and fishnet stockings, has threatened to blow up a McDonald's in Australia.

The bloke, who also had heavy stubble on his chiselled jaw, was caught on CCTV in the Melbourne fast food restaurant.

He entered the premises at around 7.45am on Sunday 8 February and warned staff he had a detonator inside a plastic cup.

According to reports in Australian media, he demanded cash from the staff.

He apparently dropped some of his stash as he fled the scene, throwing off his wig on the way out.

Police searched the area, but did not find a bomb.

They have appealed for information, describing the suspect as white, of thin build and about 183cm (6ft) tall.
