Authorities are looking for a cross-dressing bandit who robbed a bank near Alliance Airport on Thursday afternoon.

The man can be seen in surveillance photos wearing a red wig and toting a large handbag as he approaches a teller at a Wells Fargo Branch in a shopping center in the 2400 block of Westport Parkway.

Fort Worth police were dispatched about 2 p.m. to the location, which is actually in Haslet and patrolled by the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office.
