Florida Man Accused of Using Chainsaw to Steal Pokemon Cards

From GameRant (Written by Drew Swanson) on | OpenCritic

A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing $12,000 worth of Pokemon cards from a store in Lake Park, Florida. What makes this Pokemon card heist particularly strange is the use of a chainsaw to break through the store's hurricane-proof windows. The accused is currently being charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure and grand theft greater than $10,000 but less than $20,000.

On May 21, 33-year-old Clayton Warren was arrested after the owner of Collection Realm contacted the sheriff's office when surveillance footage showed a man attempting to burglarize the store. In this footage, the man identified as Warren was seen using a rock to try to break Collection Realm's front window. When that method failed due to the reinforced, hurricane-proof glass, the man resorted to using a chainsaw to cut his way into the building before snatching an estimated $12,000 worth of sleeved singles and bulk bonus Pokemon cards.
