Police Public Relations Officer, Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss confirmed the CIBCFirstCaribbean Bank at Wildey was robbed by a man wearing a dress this afternoon.

The police spokesman said they received the call of a robbery in progress around 12:15 p.m.

Inniss said the man, outfitted in a red dress, straw hat, mask, pair of sneakers and a handbag, approached a teller and presented a note demanding cash.

The teller did as she was trained to and handed over some money. The robber put it in a bag and walked out of the bank with an undisclosed sum of money.
