A store in Metro Vancouver that specializes in selling collectibles like Pokémon cards was broken into earlier this week, and footage of the wild incident has been shared online.

Everything J&J, a “collectible palace,” according to the website, suffered a break-in on Jan. 19.

Brazen videos of the break-in were shared on the Everything J&J Instagram account, showing four people in masks smashing glass displays and putting things in bags.

The New Westminster Police Department has shared some info about the incident.

“The New Westminster Police Department is investigating the break and enter at Everything J & J. We ask that members of the public review and share the CCTV footage,” NWPD Sergeant Andrew Leaver shared with Daily Hive.

“Please reach out to police if you have any information, or can identify anyone in the video. Stealing from a small, locally owned business harms real people in our community,” Leaver added.

Daily Hive has contacted Everything J&J for more information, but the owner and CEO of the shop, Jesse Gihon, shared an impassioned video about the incident on Instagram, highlighting the carnage that took place.

“I’ve been hearing a lot about Pokémon store break-ins and stuff like that and robberies and theft, and I didn’t think anybody was f*cking stupid enough to do it to our store.”

He then proceeds to take a tour inside the store, showing broken glass everywhere.

Many vocal members of the Pokémon community spoke out in the comments of the Instagram video and on social media.

“This is insanely sad. It’s sickening how common and frequent these robberies are becoming,” said one person in the Instagram comments. 

“This is awful and devastating. I hope you guys catch whoever did this,” another follower said. 

Leaver said that New West Police are aware that there are similar files in neighbouring municipalities.

“We’re working in partnership with our policing partners and sharing information. Our message for the people responsible for these crimes is to take accountability now and turn themselves in to police,” Leaver added.
