A man wearing a Coca-Cola bottle costume was caught on surveillance video holding a gun to a Kentucky restaurant manager in a strange stick-up.

The bizarre incident unfolded at a Rally’s restaurant around 7:00 a.m. Monday morning, according to the Henderson Police Department.

The alleged robber can be seen in footage released by authorities pushing his way into a back room with a gun pointed at the manager, who was not hurt in the incident.

Police said the costumed thief was able to get away with $500.

While he was able to keep his face away from surveillance footage, the restaurant manager described him as a white male who fled the restaurant in a grey mini-van.
