Footage also shows one of the robbers pointing a pistol at customers, prompting some to raise their hands.<\/p>\n<p>Police did not disclose the value of items stolen. Store owner Courtney Chin told NBC New York that merchandise worth about $100,000 was taken.<\/p>\n<p>Employees told officers that three people entered the store, displayed firearms and stole merchandise, cash and the mobile phone of a female employee. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n<p>The incident comes amid a series of similar thefts targeting card shops in California. Earlier this month, thieves broke into LA Sports Cards in Burbank and stole about $100,000 worth of items, including Pok\u00e9mon cards. Four suspects have since been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>In another case in West Los Angeles, robbers targeted a customer leaving a card shop and stole a Pok\u00e9mon card collection valued at around $300,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: ABC7 Three people armed with a handgun robbed a Pok\u00e9mon store in Manhattan on Wednesday evening, threatening&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-103206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
