bank robber wearing a Santa hat and beard walked into a Port Orange, Florida, bank and walked out with loot, police said Tuesday.

The incident took place Monday at a SunTrust Bank.

The man, who also wore sunglasses, placed a package on the teller's counter. It was wrapped with what appears in a surveillance photo to be pink gift wrap.

The man handed the teller a note demanding cash. The note suggested the package was harmful, police said.

He was given money. Authorities haven't disclosed how much.

The robber left the package on the counter, walked out and fled in a dark vehicle.

The bank was evacuated and secured, police said.

The package turned out not to contain an explosive device.

Sounds like the plot of a Kevin James movie.

This is why the bank should have been closed

Add a little Stir Crazy and the Fugitive and we're on.

Kevin James is just your average guy looking to make a few extra bucks as a Mall Santa Clause. One day when he's depositing his money, he gets into an argument with the teller. He leaves next comes in the bank robbing Santa played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Confused identity, Santa on the Run with Gina Carano as the tough as nails Bounty Hunter out to get her man. He has to find the true bank robbing Santa in the middle of New York in December where there's a Santa on every corner.

Considering it's Florida, it's somewhat underwhelming.

Can't be a Kevin James movie, not enough fat guy falling around sweating on things.

Meh that is such an unoriginal way to rob a bank.

To be fair it's probably the most inconspicuous costume to buy at this time of the year, so many Santa costumes are sold that when the news article comes out it's not like if you buy an obscure costume where a shop keeper might remember selling that costume to someone and come through with a description.

Pretty weak for Florida. Sad to see their standards fall. They used to know how to party man
