He was dressed as a pilgrim but he was not on his way to a holy place.
Wearing a purple pilgrim top with a white collar and green gloves, a man entered a suburban Melbourne milkbar, demanded cash from the front counter and then produced a knife.
When the staff member refused to hand over money, the bandit jumped on the counter and pulled out the entire cash register.
He fled with a second offender, who was standing at the door of the Ringwood East milkbar.
The incident happened on Old Lilydale Road on November 28, about 9.20pm (AEDT)
The pilgrim bandit is described as 180cm tall with a solid build, an Australian accent and wearing black track suit pants and black shoes.
The second offender is described as tall and thin but it is not known it was a man or woman.
