The thieves usually target Pokémon Trading Card Game merchandise, the co-owner said.
“Collectibles are a hot commodity right now,” Aliano explained. “They’re easy to grab, and they’re untraceable, so they’re easy to sell.”
Police are actively investigating the burglary. There is no known suspect at this time.
