Armed woman wearing a cow-print onesie robs man on an Irish street

Thieves often don all manner of strange attire in order to conceal their true identity.

And in Belfast this morning, one female armed robber opted for a "distinctive cow-print onesie," as she held up a man in Belfast city centre. 

Police said the woman, who carried a gun, stole cash from her 20-year-old victim on Great Victoria Street at 3am today.

She travelled in a blue Volkswagen Golf and was accompanied by two men at the time. The gang subsequently escaped with a sum of cash in the same vehicle.

The PSNI have now said that they are asking "anyone with any information about this incident to contact detectives".

First rats, now cows, what will Belfast city centre be victim to next?
