New York ( CNN ) -- Long Island may be far from the Death Star , but that did n't stop Darth Vader from paying a less-than-friendly visit to a bank in East Setauket , New York . Or at least he looked like Darth Vader , except for the camouflage pants . The costumed man , with a mask and cape , entered a Chase bank Thursday morning and demanded cash . Although he did n't have a lightsaber , his gun was more than enough to persuade the teller to hand over the money . The caped criminal then fled east through the bank 's parking lot . Suffolk County police said they are searching for the man , described as around 6 feet tall .
