West Texas police are on the lookout for a suspect they say robbed an apartment while wearing a full-body gorilla costume.

Odessa Police said the burglar entered a woman's apartment on Halloween and demanded all her property and cash at gunpoint. No one was injured during the robbery.

More than $1,000 worth of property was taken from the home, police said.

Police were unable to specify any more details about the suspect other than the costume he or she was wearing.
