Gun-toting Teletubby commits robbery

Halloween took a bizarre and frightening turn in London early yesterday morning when a man dressed as a Teletubby robbed a woman at gunpoint.

London police say the gun-toting Teletubby confronted the woman just after midnight and demanded cash. The woman, in her 20s, gave money to the robber.

The woman wasn't injured but her misfortune wasn't hers alone.

A second man dressed in costume was later stopped in the area by police and questioned -- but police had the wrong Teletubby.

The woman said the man who robbed her was between 6 foot 2 and 6 foot 4, 200 to 240 pounds and had a muscular build, short, dark hair and was clean shaven.
