World’s breast disguise

Getting in touch with his feminine side didn’t help a convicted Colombian fugitive elude cops.

They busted the fugitive despite the breast implants and other cosmetic work that had helped him morph into a very chesty “Rosalinda.’’

Giovanni Rebolledo’s tough-guy image as a gang member took a hit when police stopped Rosalinda — who was working as a prostitute and wearing a miniskirt and tight pink top.

He cried like a little girl.

“When he was found out, he burst into tears. People couldn’t believe it, especially the other prostitutes he had been associating with,’’ Britain’s Sun newspaper quoted an onlooker as saying.

Rebolledo was a member of the Los Topos crime gang. The thug, thought to be in his 30s, was convicted in Bogota last year of a long list of vicious crimes.

They included kidnapping, extortion, robbery and drug possession.

He was sentenced to 60 years in the slammer — and fled.

While on the lam, he went under the knife.

He shelled out about $18,000 on boob and buttock implants and a nose job, The Sun reported.

Months later, eyebrows nicely shaped and hair worn long, Rosalinda looked buxom Saturday in the tight top and striped short skirt.

But “she” caught the attention of members of the vice squad on routine patrol in Barranquilla.

Rebolledo identified himself as Rosalinda when cops asked to see ID at a street corner in a red-light district, Colombia’s ElTiempo.com reported.

Cops took him into custody.

His long months of freedom ended as they slapped on the handcuffs.

“It wasn’t a bad effort, but when you’ve been sentenced to 60 years, there are going to be a few people looking for you,’’ The Sun quoted the onlooker as saying.

Other members of Los Topos were arrested last year.

The gang was known for having its members pay good-looking women to entice rich businessmen into ambushes, police said.

The thugs would then pounced, beat the helpless victims and even torture them with electric shocks until they gave up their PIN numbers, cops said.
