LISBON (AFP) - Police in northern Portugal are looking for a man who robbed a gas station at gunpoint dressed as Santa Claus.

The man walked into the 24-hour gas station near Guimares, some 350 kilometres (220 miles) north of Lisbon, on Tuesday night and threatened the only employee on duty with the weapon, police told daily newspaper Jornal de Noticias on Thursday.

He fled the scene on foot with all the money which was in the cash register at the time, the newspaper added.
