A transgender man who robbed two Manawatu banks dressed as a woman was trying to get sent back to jail because he felt uncomfortable outside prison, a court was told.
Cross-dresser James Shevan Cassidy, 34, told police the robberies, totalling more than $5000, were "a last bash before going back to prison".
He spent the cash on drugs, alcohol, food and petrol, and was arrested eating takeaways in the getaway car.
