Media said that a store selling game-related items in Minnesota, USA, had recently been robbed of high-value Pokemon cards.
Thieves managed to break through the wall to get inside the store. Fraudsters stole Pokémon cards worth 250,000 USD, equivalent to more than 5.6 billion VND from the store.
According to reports, the theft happened on February 9 local time, police are investigating the thief who broke into the gaming store by digging a hole in the wall to avoid the alarm. Almost all of this store’s Pokemon cards were “stolen” overnight.
The scene of the incident.
After the thief entered the store, he took items from two rooms filled with Pokemon card collections. In an interview, store owner Eric Johnson said that the inventory and value of these Pokemon products is more than 250,000 USD.
Mr. Eric also explained that because Pokemon cards are currently extremely scarce in the US, the group of criminals specializing in stealing these items is increasing, threatening security and affecting the economy for shop owners.
Stores are more interested in getting stolen products back than insurance money because these Pokemon cards are almost non-reworkable and have great value. “Even if there’s insurance money to compensate the store, it can’t cover the loss when the card is lost,” said shop owner Eric.
Fox News reporter Mary McGuire tweeted pictures of the scene of the theft and said: “The thief emptied two rooms full of Pokemon card products but they left behind… stuffed animals.” The shop owner is currently working closely with the police to investigate the incident, he is determined to find the culprit to recover the stolen valuable Pokemon cards.
The thief left behind the stuffed animal.
