Police are searching for a man disguised as an elderly woman during a bank robbery. WHDH's Michelle Relerford reports


Wearing a knee-length women's stretch coat, colorful scarf and lots of makeup 1, this suspect walked into Citizens Union savings 2 bank, in Somerset Wednesday afternoon, cross dressing 3 to conceal 4 his identity.


We've never had a man dressed as woman rob a bank. This's a guy looks like maybe Dustin Hoffman in Mrs Doubtfire .


While it was actually Robin 5 Williams who stared in Mrs Doutfire but there is some resemblance police in Somerset trying to figure out who's behind this costume.


I couldn't tell if it was an attempt to just conceal the identity or he dresses like this, but I would hope that it was a, this is an attempt to conceal his identity.


The situation may seem funny but the crime is quite serious. The suspect handing the teller 6 a note, demanding cash or he'd pull out a gun.


We are just thankful that none of our employees or customers were injured.


Witnesses told police the suspect did stick out dressed in drag. In fact bank policy requires customers' heads and faces to be uncovered. Still despite the lipstick 7, foundation and lady's fashion faux pas, no one saw this crime coming.


He was a little bit exasperated 8, breathing hard and sighing very impatient but no one had any idea he's gonna, you know, pass the teller a note to rob the bank.
