Pokemon Card Shops Raided in BC, Owners Fear Closures
Two card shops in British Columbias Lower Mainland were targeted by thieves within a day of each other, with valuable Pokemon and sports cards stolen. The break-ins, which occurred at House of Cards in Abbotsford and Zephyr Epic in Surrey, resulted in thousands of dollars in damages and lost inventory. The owners of the affected stores express concern that repeated hits could force them to close or switch businesses. Despite the thefts, community support for the stores has been strong, with kids and parents showing their appreciation. The Pokemon collecting boom, fueled by influencers and the pandemic, has made stores attractive targets for burglars seeking high-value items. Police are investigating the incidents, and store owners are urging others to upgrade their security measures.
