London, Ontario (AHN) - A tall male used the Halloween occasion to rob people by donning a Teletubby costume to mix freely with revelers.

A woman told London police that a six-foot-two man wearing Tinky Winky's purple costume poked a gun at her and held her up on Sunday midnight. He took $40 from her, but did not hurt the woman.

According to police, the suspect weighs about 240 pounds, has short black hair, a clean shave and a muscular build.
