Authorities in Colorado said Sunday they were looking for a woman who allegedly burglarized a business in Fort Collins while disguised as Santa’s red-nosed helper.

In a video posted by police in Fort Collins, the woman, who’s wearing a large, furry Rudolph mask, can be seen entering a room, flipping on the lights and stuffing items into a shopping bag.

Police offered their own cheeky spin on the reindeer’s classic tune, including this plea for the public’s help to identify her:

“Oh how the camera caught her/As she committed burglary/Rudolph the Red Nosed Criminal/We need your help with her I.D.”

“If you have any info about this incident or know suspect’s identity,” police said in a Facebook post, “let us know so we can notify St. Nick.”
