Darth Vader Robs Bank In Long IslandView Photos <javascript:openGallery();> By Associated Press <http://newsone.com/author/associatedpress3/> July 23, 2010 9:00 am [image: s-DARTH-VADER-BANK-ROBBER-large] SETAUKET, N.Y. – A man donning a Darth Vader mask at a New York bank has entered the dark side. Police say the man entered a Chase bank branch on Long Island on Thursday, displayed a gun and demanded money. A surveillance camera caught the “Star Wars” character wearing a blue cape and camouflage pants. The bandit escaped from the Setauket bank with an undetermined amount of cash. The robbery comes about a week after another bank robber, dubbed the “bouquet bandit,” held up a Manhattan bank. Authorities say Edward Pemberton used a flower bouquet to conceal a note demanding cash during a $440 bank heist July 15. They say he used a potted plant as a similar prop in a holdup at another bank earlier this month. *RELATED STORIES* BIZARRE: Leprechaun Robs Bank On St. Patrick’s Day<http://newsone.com/nation/associated-press/leprechaun-robs-bank-on-st-patricks-day/> Two Girls, Ages, 12 And 14, Rob Ohio Bank And Elude Police<http://newsone.com/nation/news-one-staff/two-girls-ages-12-and-14-rob-ohio-bank-and-elude-police/> -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
