Santas hold up Brisbane bowls club

Australian police are looking for Santa Claus - two in fact - who robbed the Cutheringa Bowls club in Brisbane at knife-point.

The two men, dressed in Santa hats and beards, entered the bowls club at around 8:20pm (Australian time) last night, armed with knives.

They approached the lone female employee and demanded she put money from the till into a green shopping bag.

The woman fled immediately after giving them the money. She did not see the men leave or the direction they went.

The first man is described as of Aboriginal appearance, around 18 to 25-years-old, 175cm tall with a slim build. In addition to his Santa Clause hat and beard disguise, he was wearing a tight fitting dark coloured T-shirt.

The second man is described as Caucasian, 18 to 25-years-old, 175cm tall, slim build and was also wearing a Santa hat and beard, a dark coloured T-shirt and light coloured denim pants.
