Guelph police say a 23-year-old man is facing charges in connection to four thefts involving Magic: The Gathering playing cards.

In a news release issued Wednesday, police said the first theft of the popular trading cards was reported in July 2021.

In that case, staff at a Stone Road store spotted someone on surveillance video grabbing four packs of the cards valued at $45 each.

Police said an investigation revealed the same man had been involved in similar thefts at the same store, as well as another store on Woodlawn Road.

More than $600 in cards were stolen during the four thefts.
