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.

The 28-year-old then jumped into a getaway car allegedly driven by his accomplice, Joseph Philip Svezzese, 27. Police were able to track down the pair after following their vehicle -- which eventually lost control, swerved into oncoming traffic and crashed into a tree.
