Police in California have released surveillance images of a man who robbed a bank dressed in women's clothing - leading investigators to compare his outfit with Mrs Doubtfire. The eccentrically-disguised man entered a branch of the U.S Bank in the city of Santa Cruz at around 3pm last Friday and handed the cashier a note demanding money. His blonde wig, female clothing, glasses and purse immediately prompted comparisons with Mrs Doubtfire from the 1993 movie of the same name in which Robin Williams played a divorcee who dresses as an elderly female nanny to spend more time with his children. Cross-dresser: The eccentrically-disguised man entered a branch of the U.S Bank in the city of Santa Cruz at around 3pm last Friday and handed the cashier a note demanding money . Santa Cruz Police Department released the surveillance images yesterday as they stepped up their efforts to find the cross-dressing bankrobber. The 25 to 35-year-old man made off with an unknown sum of money after the U.S. Bank employee responded to his demand without raising the alarm. No weapon was used or mentioned during the robber and nobody was injured, according to the San Jose Mercury. Authorities searched the area around the bank shortly afterwards, but he was not found. Lieutenant Bernie Escalante said a man wearing exactly the same outfit had been seen 'acting suspiciously' outside a nearby Rabobank roughly an hour before the U.S. Bank robbery. Rabobank staff went out to speak to the man and he left the area without incident, Escalante said. Uncanny: The bankrobber's blonde wig, female clothing and spectacles prompted comparisons with Mrs Doubtfire from the 1993 movie of the same name starring the late Robin Williams . Santa Cruz police said the man appeared to be aged between 25 and 35, was about five foot five inches tall and weighed 160-170 pounds. He was described as having dark skin and wore prescription glasses and a wavy blonde wig. His outfit was listed as navy blue hospital scrubs with a light-purple long-sleeved shirt underneath. 'We believe these are great photos of the suspect, and somebody in the community has to recognize this person,' Lt Escalante said as he urged anyone with information to contact his officers. Mrs Doubtfire was released in 1993 to mixed reviews from critics but was a massive box office hit - only falling behind Jurassic Park as the highest-grossing film of the year. Work on a sequel began in 2001 but was scrapped five years later after Williams declared the script 'useless'. Production resumed in April 2014, but all plans for the sequel were scrapped once and for all with Williams' suicide four months later.
