100 Copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops Stolen at Gunpoint in Maryland
The much-anticipated video war game “Call of Duty: Black Ops” isn’t due out until Tuesday, so if you’re playing it now, it might have been stolen at gunpoint from a Game Stop in Maryland. We aren’t sure which version was stolen, but it looks like more than 100 copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops disappeared in the heist. At $60 each this theft could bring in over $6000 if the copies are sold for more than the retail value since they game isn’t launched yet. If you have information about the robbery, you’re asked to call the Harford County Sheriff’s Office at 410-836-5430.
As the store was closing for the evening, the suspects armed with black semi automatic handguns, entered the store stealing cash from the register, several X-Box game systems and portable game systems. In addition, they stole an assortment of new release video games, including the video game, “Call of Duty-Black Ops”, which is not scheduled for release for sale until November 9, 2010. While the robbery was in progress, two customers approached the front door of the store. They were originally told by one of the robbers that the store was closed, but one of the suspects then let the customers in to the store, ushering them at gunpoint into the store’s back storage area. Neither employees nor customers were physically injured during the robbery.
