A gunman who dressed as a woman to rob a Melbourne bank and made his getaway on roller-blades has been sentenced to six years jail.
Armed with an imitation gun, Nino Leo Lanu, 32, robbed the National Australia Bank in Mountain Highway, Bayswater, wearing a skirt, wig, makeup and fake breasts.
The County Court of Victoria heard Lanu lived opposite and was a customer of the bank where he stole more than $24,000 on February 20, 2006.
Lanu had raided his mother's wardrobe, used her cosmetics, and bought women's clothing from charity shops to conceal his identity.
He fashioned fake nails and "fake boobs" and donned the roller-blades for a speedy getaway.
He was arrested several days later at the home he shared with his mother, who was also a customer of the bank.
