Ben Powell, owner of Full Fire TCG in Gloucester, is raising alarms over a recent surge in Pokémon card shop burglaries that have left him and others worried about the safety of shop owners and employees. Earlier this month, three masked intruders forced their way into Powell’s business with a crowbar, breaking through a door and window before stealing up to £25,000 worth of highly collectible card games such as Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering.
