KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Police in Kansas City are looking for a  man who robbed a Church's Chicken restaurant Tuesday night armed with a samurai sword.

Police said the suspect entered the Church's Chicken just before 10 p.m., carrying the sword, according to a statement from the Kansas City Police Department.  He demanded money from the cash register and left in an older-model pickup truck.

The man did not display any swordsmanship during the robbery.

The suspect drove off in an older-model brown two-toned Chevy pickup truck, possibly from the 1980s.

Several customers were in the restaurant during the robbery but no one was injured.
