TOLEDO, Ohio, May 28 (UPI) -- Authorities in Ohio said a man clad in a Darth Vader mask and black clothes robbed a bank with a semi-automatic pistol instead of a light saber and the Force.

FBI Special Agent Stephen Anthony said the "Star Wars" villain went into the Huntington Bank on Monroe Street in Toledo just after 3 p.m. Wednesday, showed the pistol to tellers and demanded cash, WEWS-TV, Cleveland, reported Monday.

The FBI said the Sith lord, who was wearing black sweats and is estimated to be 20 to 25 years old, fled on a BMX bike with an undisclosed amount of money.
