Santa robs bank 'to pay his elves'

Santa robbed the Sun Trust Bank in Nashville, Tennessee, dressed in his traditional costume of a red suit, hat and beard, along with a slightly less traditional pair of sunglasses.

According to Metropolitan Nashville Police, the man entered the bank on Tuesday morning, and demanded money from the teller at gunpoint.



Santa also told the bank employees not to put dye packs in the money, or he would come back and 'kill everyone'.



After the teller complied and handed over the cash, the robber left - explaining on his way out that 'Santa needed to pay his elves.'

He then fled the scene in a car.
