SYDNEY, Australia - Murray Cook, the Red member of the Wiggles, is wanted in a series of bank robberies across Australia. Police say the exploding red dye pack that banks insert in stolen money is ineffective to stop him. "When the [dye] pack explodes," said Sydney Police Chief Michael Jeffery, "it's supposed to stain the robber and make him easy to spot. Obviously that doesn't work with the Red Wiggle."
After one recent robbery in a Sydney suburb, the dye pack exploded seconds after Cook stepped outside the bank, spewing red dye on him. "But because Cook is the Red Wiggle," Chief Jeffery explained, "no one noticed." Cook continued to walk the streets and even signed autographs. Chief Jeffery said that the case has the police "seeing red."
