Man Breaks Through Wall and into GameStop, Steals $5,000+ in Games
Steven Archer, 33, broke through a wall and into his local GameStop video game store and made off with $288.55 in cash and $5,342 in merchandise from the store. Archer was able to enter the store as the retail location next door was vacant. In the un-used retail space he was able to smash the wall down and enter the store without having to use the front or back door. He ended up getting busted by security cameras and is now sitting in jail.
Greeneville police arrested a man Thursday and charged him with breaking into the Game Stop video game store Jan. 4 by tunneling through a wall after breaking into a vacant adjacent space. In the early morning hours of Jan. 4, the warrant said, Archer “forcibly removed the metal back door to an adjacent vacant rental space,” then cut a hole in the sheet rock wall to gain access to the video game business at 3793 E. Andrew Johnson Highway. The business is in a strip shopping center just east of Walmart. Store video surveillance cameras showed a man wearing a ski mask inside the store for a short time after apparently tunneling through a wall.
