The large man wearing a Santa suit walked into the bar brandishing a gun.

East Providence: Call it a ho-ho-holdup. Police say a man dressed as Santa Claus has robbed a Rhode Island yacht club.

Authorities say a bartender was alone in the East Providence Yacht Club Sunday night when a large man wearing a red suit, red hat, white beard and carrying a sack walked into the bar and brandished a gun.

The bartender fled and ran to a nearby business where she called 911.

By the time police arrived, the Santa bandit - as well as an undetermined amount of cash from the register - was missing.

Co-owner Tony Perry tells WLNE-TV he's just glad no one was hurt. There were no immediate arrests.

What's your reaction?
