In Suffolk County, New York, yesterday, a man dressed in a Darth Vader costume successfully held up a bank and fled on a bicycle.

The robber's weapon was not identified, but apparently it was not a light saber or imperial-issue blaster.

That's awesome.
Not the robbing, but the attire.

One customer thought the outfit was so funny that he started joking with the dark lord as he tried to pull off his heist.
I find your lack of fear disturbing.

can't help but laugh at that one, despite the awful nature of armed bank robberies.
looks like a Glock or XD or similar?
Dispatch: "All cars be on the lookout for a 6-foot-tall bank robbery suspect dressed in a Darth Vader helmet, a blue cape, and camo pants - last seen riding a bicycle down Main Street"
