Anniston Cross...dressing

"popular search engine" pulls up the following when searching for "anniston cross":

Hairpieces at a local beauty supply store proved too tempting for a woman and a cross-dressing man Monday afternoon.

Anniston Police investigators said the pair walked into the Beauty Outlet at 1801 Noble Street and looked around for a while.

One approached the shopkeeper — apparently to distract her — while the other went to the back of the store and grabbed two black Harlem 125 hairpieces valued at about $100 a piece.

According to police, when the pair then met at the front of the store preparing to exit, the shopkeeper tried to stop them.

The cross-dressing man struck the shopkeeper and knocked her out of the way.

The two were seen fleeing in a small black Pontiac, possibly with out-of-state license tags.

The shopkeeper was not seriously injured.

Police had no suspects in custody Wednesday afternoon. If caught, the two would face second degree robbery charges
