High-value Pokémon cards stolen during break-in at BC collectibles shop

Police are investigating a commercial break-and-enter in Vancouver that happened early Monday morning.

According to a VPD news release, the thieves stole high-value Pokémon cards from Royal Card Shop and Collectibles on Dunbar Street shortly before 3 am.

Investigators say that two masked suspects pried open the rear door of the collectibles shop and used a stolen Ford pickup truck to pull out the safe.

“The stolen vehicle was recovered in Surrey later that morning and was found abandoned and still running,” the release noted. “The vehicle was later transported to the VPD property garage for forensic analysis.”

Only a limited description of the suspects is available, as police say they’re white men who were wearing all-black clothing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the VPD property crime tip line at 604-717-0610.
