A man in a red dress walked into a sex shop in Liverpool, pulled out a gun from his handbag and attempted to rob the place.
The CCTV footage shows the man, wearing a red dress, wig, grey cap and white gloves, entering the 'Nice N Naughty adult shop' on Colquitt Street at approximately 5.40pm on August 28.
He pulled the firearm from his handbag and threatened a member of staff. After a struggle, he snatched money from the counter and fled, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Police have since released new images and video in a bid to trace the culprit.
