Santas other than the stereotypical Jolly St. Nick, have been on a rampage in New Zealand. Drunken criminal Santas have been wreaking havoc and giving the rosy cheeked icon a bad name.

Reports of "Bad Santas" breaking the law have been circulating around the world.

One tubby fellow armed with a gun, held up a furniture store in the German town of Ludwigshafen on Saturday and forced two cashiers to open the safe. He filled his sack with cash, then locked the two women in the sage while he escaped.

Another Santa is charged with flashing people.

One Santa was stopped by police for driving 90 mph on a German highway, clearly breaking the speed limit.

A spokesman for the police says, "He was in a rush because he still had packages to deliver."
