We all love first person shooters, but nobody wants a gun in their face. That's just what some boys got entering a GameStop a few days ago. Robbers take off with some "high tech equipment"...
Imagine heading to the store to pickup a new game and find yourself looking down the barrel of a gun. No, we're not talking about Halo II, we're talking about a robbery master chief!
"A Dallas/Ft. Worth CBS affiliate brings us this horribly written report (and video) on a GameStop robbery in Arlington, Texas. Surveillance video shows one robber entering the store with his gun drawn, and the store clerk heads to the back room as ordered. Another robber digs around for a shopping bag to nab consoles (or, as the article says, 'high-end video equipment'), and not money."
The robbers leave PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles because they're smart enough to know the register probably isn't packed with thousands of dollars but a couple brand new PS3's and a few Xbox 360 should fetch them a grand or so. Definitely harder to stuff in your pocket but a better decision... if you can count robbing someone a good decision.
One of the boys enters the store and is forced to the ground by the gunman. The other boy follows suit and hits the floor. As the robbers leave, they pass a woman entering the store who may be the boys' guardian. She promptly makes a phone call.
One robber has been caught, we're sure the next isn't too far away from being taken down. The problem with stealing is that it's bad and you're probably going to be noticed carrying boxes of game consoles.
Lesson to be learned? Save your FPS for the video games and learn to save money better.
