HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — Wearing a wig as a disguise really shouldn't work. If we're being honest, it's a step down from a Halloween costume. But for some reason, for one North Carolina man, it keeps working. The "bad wig bandit" hit a fourth bank, wearing his fourth wig.
Hendersonville Police say the man robbed the BB&T Bank on Dana Road yesterday afternoon. He wore a black puffy jacket, gloves and a black, curly wig.
Surveillance pictures show the man talking to a bank worker. Police say he stole some cash and walked out the front door.

The first robbery happened at a BB&T in Huntersville, in a blonde wig. The man was also wearing high heels.
The other robberies happened in Gastonia and Belmont with a red wig, a black wig and, of course, the high heels.
The suspect got away with cash in all three other cases.
