Man Dressed As Darth Vader Robs North Carolina Bank At Gunpoint

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

A man dressed head-to-toe as Darth Vader from "Star Wars" stormed a North Carolina bank on Monday and robbed it at gunpoint. Police said the suspect entered the State Employees Credit Union in Pineville around 11:45 a.m., toting a long gun and demanding cash from a teller, who immediately complied. No one was hurt in the incident.

Although an exact figure hasn't been released, WSOC reported that the bandit made off with thousands of dollars.

After grabbing the money, the he turned and fled in a silver, four-door Chevy Suburban. Pineville police provided this image of the suspect's car:

The suspect is described as a 5' 5" male. Pineville police said they're working with the FBI, and that the suspect is still at large.

It's unclear if Vader's alleged robbery was a last-ditch attempt to finance the construction of a third Death Star, after the first two were destroyed by Rebel forces.

However, the Sith Lord has pulled this stunt before.

In 2012, a similarly dressed suspect robbed a bank in Ohio, fleeing on a bicycle.
