A commercial card store in the center of Florida received great success on Monday after a masked suspect broke into the business and stole Pokémon cards worth almost $ 30,000.
The surveillance images on the Mint Gem cards in Deand captured the crime, which took place early in the morning before the store was opened. The store shared the Smash-And-Grab video on its Facebook page.

Although this seemed to be the first time that Gem Mint Cards was beaten, there have been similar robberies in commercial stores throughout the state.
“According to security images, it seems to be the same individual responsible for multiple robberies in other card stores in Florida. The same hoodie, gloves and bag,” said Gem Mint Cards on Facebook.
A suspect has not yet been identified or located, and the police have not confirmed a connection with the other robberies.

The stolen cards of all impacted stores were collectible with large resale price labels.
Several of the cards were very rare and an era even a “gem min 10”, which means that it was perfect in the qualification and condition, according to the owner Christen Wybo.
Wybo told Fox 35 that it is “terrible” that the stress of theft is now associated with the store, which is supposed to be “fun and open to all.”
