A CROSS-dressing crook posed as an old lady to raid her bank account three times.

The middle-aged man wore a woman's scarf, make-up, a grey wig and a camel coat to pass as the 76-year-old.

He swiped £11,300 before bank workers in Glasgow raised the alarm.

Last night the "square-jawed" conman was branded "callous" as detectives continued their hunt for him.

It's odd that in the article they never name the suspect or the victim.

Probably suppression laws.

You can be a mass murderer in Australia and have your ID suppressed. Might be the same in the UK.
