A man with an apparent penchant for playing cops and robbers stole several video games and cash from a Deerfield Beach Game Stop on May 27. Around closing time, the robber approached the checkout counter with three games and an Xbox video game console. An employee scanned the items and told him the cost, but instead of paying, the man said he had a gun and demanded money from the clerks.
He grabbed cash from the register and had an employee throw a Madden football game in his bag. Among his other swag were the popular Grand Theft Auto game, where the player commits crimes such as stealing cars, and another game called L.A. Noire, in which the player is a police officer challenged to solve crimes. Surveillance cameras inside the store at 3928 W. Hillsboro Blvd. captured video of the robbery.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the robbery is asked to contact BSO Robbery Detective Matthew Marks at 954-321-4270 or anonymously report information to Crime Stoppers of Broward County at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.
