PICTURED: Jail for wig-wearing fake cop who kidnapped bank staff
BANK robber Michael Dunphy is pictured wearing a wig and a fake police uniform as he attempts to steal £500,000 from a Rotherham bank.
Dunphy (45) covered his face with a white bandanna as he forced a bank employee to unlock the bank after kidnapping her and her seven-year-old daughter.
The wig was later found by detectives after they searched his Manchester home two-days after the foiled raid in November.

Dunphy claimed he had bought the wig for a Guys and Dolls-themed Hallow’een ball.
His accomplices are still at large. Police have made several arrests.
Dunphy was sentenced to 18 years in prison today (Wednesday) which Judge Robert Bartfield extended by five years because he deemed him to be a dangerous person.
