Police seek Darth Vader-masked robbery suspect

FERNDALE, Mich. — Ferndale police are seeking a man who wore a plastic Darth Vader mask before pulling a butcher knife and robbing a convenience store. Authorities said the holdup happened about 1:35 p.m. Monday at the Get & Go store in the Detroit suburb north-northwest of Detroit. Police said the man fled after demanding all the cash from the register.

But Lt. William Wilson told The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak the suspect made a “significant mistake” because he was in range of a store surveillance camera before he donned the mask.

Police described the suspect as a white male, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, with dark hair and a goatee. He was wearing a blue V-neck sweater with a gray T-shirt and dark pants.
