A capital man was a bit early with his Halloween costume, and was caught trying to pass for a monk after donning a stolen robe on Monday.

Nicking the vestment from a clothesline in a Srah Chak commune pagoda, the man went into a hospital bathroom to change.

Security guards spotting him strolling out in his outsourced outfit grabbed him and forwarded him to police to face punishment for impersonating the pious.
