In recent years, various collectible cards have been reevaluated and are now the object of desire of thousands of collectors in the world, that is why thieves began to make their robberies more sophisticated, not only money or jewelry but also Pokémon cards.
The man went straight for the Pokémon cards
Like the case of a robbery in Minnesota, where the police reported that a man entered a store after breaking the wall and stealing a batch of Pokémon cards valued at about $250,000, a real fortune.
The small store is located in the town of Forest Lake, Minnesota and the robbery took place on February 10. According to reports, the local Punch-Out Gaming was the victim of a man who broke one of the walls to enter to steal.
In order to get into the store, the thief had to do it from a store next to the store, that is, he entered two stores to steal the batch of cards.
The owners of the cards will be aware of the sales groups
Once the thief entered the first store he did not steal anything, he knew what his objective was and the security tape shows how the man enters the premises to steal the precious cards,
One of the owners, Jason Peterson , estimated the losses at about $250,000, which was an important asset of the store and one of the attractions for the arrival of potential customers.
Now, the owners of the cards will be on the lookout for groups of collectors to find out who could be responsible for the theft.
It is not the first time that exclusive Pokémon cards have been stolen . A year ago, the Gamers Only store in Charleston, South Carolina suffered a robbery valued at several thousand dollars, after thieves stole cards from the popular game.
