SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The FBI is releasing surveillance photos of a man who used last weekend's Santacon event in San Francisco as an opportunity to rob a bank.

Authorities say he was wearing his Santa costume when he walked into a bank on Sutter Street and handed a teller a note demanding cash.

That teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money and the sneaky Santa got away.
