Lord Vader would not be pleased with a couple of thieves that made off with a signed piece of movie memorabilia from a Calgary business.

On March 25, police say a pair of men broke into Zero Latency On Tilt, a Calgary virtual reality business located at 6940 Fisher Road S.E., and stole a number of movie and sports collectables.

Among the items stolen was a limited edition Darth Vader helmet signed by multiple members of the cast of the Star Wars trilogies, a signed Star Trek jersey and a signed Calgary Flames jersey.

Police say the items taken are valued at approximately $51,000.

The offenders were caught on security video taken inside the store.

The first suspect was wearing a black hoodie with white stripes along the arms, a black toque, a grey balaclava, a black backpack, black gloves, black sweatpants with the word "Champion" in red down the left leg and black and white running shoes.

The second suspect was wearing a black and grey baseball hat with the words "On Tilt" written on it, a black balaclava, a black hoodie with grey sleeves and hood, black pants, shoes and gloves.

Police say the pair fled the scene in a blue Chevrolet Aveo, believed to be from the 2004 to 2007 model years.

The Darth Vader helmet, signed by a number of the Star Wars' cast members, is considered the most expensive out of all the items taken. (Supplied/Calgary Police Service)
