The owners were able to cover the merchandise, but the person responsible still hasn’t been caught.
“I see him pull out a stack of cards and put them right into his bag,” The PokeHive store owner, Cole Blancett, said while showing KSAT 12 News surveillance video.“Coming back and buying more items and everything else so he could continue to set up his theft,” Blancett said.
Blancett says his brick-and-mortar store was open for just eight days when the person in the video swiped the pack of cards. “We want this place to be enjoyable, to have this happy, trusting vibe to it. And we just had a harsh reality pretty swiftly into us opening that that may not always be the case,” Blancett said.
The alleged thief stole $500 worth of merchandise from PokeHive in Castle Hills and sold it down the road to another card store, Geeked Out, in Balcones Heights. Chris Giddens and his Geeked Out co-owner, Paul Lex, recognized the man in the video as someone who had come into their store hours later selling the same product.was able to return most of or all of the cards but didn’t know they were purchasing stolen goods. Thankful for their quick response after seeing the video. Hard to buy or sell not knowing where things are coming from!
