A weekend heist in Halifax netted a thief thousands of dollars worth of Pokémon cards.
Located in downtown Halifax, The Deck Box has something to offer for gamers of all ages, selling items such as retro and modern gaming consoles, video games, other trading cards and board games.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 30, owner Joshua Pyle-Carter was notified by police that the Brunswick Street store had been robbed.
Pyle-Carter says it appears a rock was used to break through the front door and the display case inside. Only one display case was targeted in the overnight smash-and-grab.
“We know that we lost a $600 Pokémon pack from the early 90’s and we’re also looking at some other vintage Bayside and Jungle stuff as well. There’s been a real explosion in the valuation for that,” says Pyle-Carter.
