Caban said the thieves knew what they were looking for.
“The people who did it definitely knew the store and knew where the things were,” Caban explained. “It wasn’t like a random hit where they just took stuff. They went to certain areas that had high-value stuff and they knew those areas.”
According to the police report, the thieves stole more than $31,000 worth of collectibles and $6,400 cash. In a Facebook post, the store said more than $60,000 worth of stuff was stolen.
Officers responded to an alarm call after the rear door was smashed. The glass of the rear door was smashed and around $37,830 in miscellaneous collectibles and a cash register were taken from the store.
