A mythical crowbar-wielding unicorn has been captured in Maryland, officials say.
Jacob William Rogge is now under arrest after targeting a convenience store in Baldwin early Saturday morning while wearing a “full-body white and pink unicorn costume,” Baltimore County Police say.
While inside the store, Rogge used a crowbar to smash a cash register and made off with money and cigarettes, according to cops.
