New York Chase Bank Robbed By Man Disguised As Star Wars Character Darth Vader

An unidentified man dressed as the Star Wars character Darth Vader, entered a Chase bank branch on Long Island, New York, around noon last Thursday. He pointed a gun at workers and demanded cash. He made off with an undisclosed amount of money.
The costume included the iconic Darth Vader face mask, a blue cape, and oddly enough, camouflage pants.
At first, customers in the bank thought the robbery was a joke, but that quickly changed when one customer was shoved to the ground when he tried to approach.
The suspect, only described as being about 6-foot-2, escaped from the bank and was last seen running across a nearby parking lot.
I find this comical that this guy dressed up as Darth Vader. I would think that if you wanted to rob a bank successfully, you would want to do it with as little attention as possible. He did escape, so I guess my thinking is wrong, but now there is so much national attention on this robbery that he would probably be caught easily if he ever tried to do it again. Most bank robbers hit again and again until they are caught, so it will be interesting to see if he does indeed try it again.
Hopefully next time he uses a light saber instead of a handgun as his weapon of choice.
