It was more jungle bells than jingle bells when a Santa Claus with gifts pulled out a gun and robbed an unsuspecting office in Papua New Guinea.Two men are now wanted for the Santa-themed robbery in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands Province on Monday. Police in Mt Hagen confirmed to AAP a robbery had taken place but would not elaborate on the yuletide method used.The men, one in a Santa suit and the other carrying a box supposedly full of presents from a local coffee and tea producer, robbed Wamp NGA Holdings of around 50,000 kina (A$20,000).
A Wamp NGA staff member, who wished to remain anonymous, told AAP the men infiltrated the company's tight security by duping guards into thinking they were there to give staff Christmas presents."I was quite scared," the staffer said."We could not see one of their faces because he had a Santa hat and beard on but the other guy was just dressed normally."We all were really shocked by this."The Christmas duo told staff presents would be given to them in the company boardroom, then the two pulled out hand held guns and locked everybody in the room.Money was taken from the company's accounts department and the two walked out of the building.
