Demchuk Romaiv, 23, told police that he and his girlfriend were attacked while out walking on Beach Road. A person in female clothing snatched a necklace and handed it off to two accomplices who sped away on a motorcycle.

Bystanders detained the actual thief, who turned out to be a 16-year-old boy dressed as a woman. 

Police said the suspect confessed that he was new to cross-dressing and was trying to prove his worth as a gang member.

Police were searching for the other two ladyboys, one of whom reportedly wore an unfashionable Easter bonnet.
