Suspects Smashed Their Way Into Royal Card Shop and Collectibles, Stole Valuable Cards
Police say two hooded suspects used a stolen pickup to pull a safe from the shop and scatter Pokémon cards inside.
- The Vancouver Police Department is investigating a commercial break-in at the Royal Card Shop on Dunbar Street, where thieves stole high-value Pokémon cards early in the week.
- Surveillance video shows two masked suspects "pried open" the back door before using a stolen Ford pickup truck to rope and pull a safe containing the collectibles out of the business.
- Investigators describe both suspects as white men wearing all-black clothing, and police later recovered the stolen Ford pickup truck abandoned and still running in Surrey.
- This incident follows similar Pokémon heists earlier this year, including a brazen theft at a New Westminster collectible store and an arrest involving three teenagers in connection with another incident.
- Anyone with information or dashcam footage regarding the break-in is asked to contact the VPD Property Crime tip line as The Vancouver Police Department analyzes forensic evidence from the recovered vehicle.
