Police in Fort Collins, Colorado, are looking for a burglary suspect who donned a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer mask and robbed a business before Christmas.

The robbery on Dec. 18 occurred at a business in the 300 block of Hickory Street, but police didn’t reveal its name or report what was taken.

Fort Collins Police Services on Monday posted surveillance video of the suspect on its Facebook page, along with its take on the classic Christmas song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”:

It ends with, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Criminal, we need your help with her I.D.”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Burglar

Had a very shady scheme

And if you saw the video

It would want to make you scream.

•••

All of the other burglars

Used to steal without disguise

They weren’t like this Rudolph

She’s different from the other guys.

•••

On one foggy December eve

Rudolph came to steal.

Broke into a Hickory shop,

Never expected to see a cop.

•••

Oh how the camera caught her

As she committed burglary

Rudolph the Red Nosed Criminal

We need your help with her I.D.

Fort Collins Police Services closed its post on a serious note, with a request that anyone with information about the incident or the suspect’s identity to call officer Treutler at 970-221-6555 or Larimer County Crime Stoppers at 970-221-6868.
