Overview
- Security footage shows three masked suspects shattering the store’s front glass, grabbing high‑value cards in under a minute and fleeing in a dark four‑door sedan.
- Store owners say this is the second burglary since the shop opened two months ago and that the thieves returned despite recent security upgrades.
- Officials and owners estimate about $10,000 in inventory was taken during the latest quick raid, though a full inventory count is ongoing.
- LAPD detectives were on scene after officers responded to the alarm and are reviewing video of the suspects and the getaway vehicle as part of an active investigation.
- The theft follows a string of similar smash‑and‑grab robberies at Southern California card shops, reflecting how rare cards’ strong resale market raises risks and security costs for small retailers.
