One man is sending police on a ninja hunt.

A man, estimated to being about 29 years old, robbed a Walgreens Pharmacy in Placentia, California, just before 8 p.m. Wednesday night while wearing a ninja-like mask, the Placentia Police Department said today.

His ninja ensemble -- an all-black leather jacket, shirt, jeans, gloves and mask -- was complete with a sword that he pointed at the clerks while he demanded cash, police said.

He made it out with about $200, The OC Register reported.

The man removed the mask once he was outside the store and was last seen running eastbound on Yorba Linda Blvd, according to police, who did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for additional comment.

Police said there were no injuries in the robbery.

The Walgreens Pharmacy declined to comment.
