SURREY, B.C. — A man wanted in Surrey, B.C., for wearing a unique disguise during a bank robbery is now in custody.

RCMP say the 39-year-old Surrey resident has been identified and arrested.

Police asked for public help identifying the man following the heist at a financial institution near the Guildford Town Centre on Dec. 29.

The man was wearing a patterned dress, white wool sweater, a long blond, curly wig and a pink toque that partially obscured his face.
