It's sort of Rick James, bitch?

Two criminals dressed up like Rick James and Youngblood Priest from Super Fly in order to rob a bank in Indiana on Sept. 20.

Police are looking for the men, who robbed an Indiana Members Credit Union. The pair were armed with handguns and held up the bank, then managed to flee with "an undisclosed amount of cash," Fox59 reports.

The men also robbed another Indiana bank, Advance America, two days later. One still appeared to dress like Rick James, while the other opted for sunglasses and a Colts hat. Both wore bright orange construction vests.

Super Fly was a 1972 blaxploitation film about a cocaine dealer who was trying to quit the drug world. James was a singer and songwriter known for hits like "Super Freak," and for being lampooned in a famous Chappelle's Show sketch.

Despite the seriousness of the crime, the internet has been enjoying the novelty of this bizarre duo -- and the opportunity to use the crap out of some Dave Chappelle gifs.
