Just before 11 p.m. on Tuesday, officers were called to a business on Woodlawn Road.
Police said a man was confronted by a loss prevention officer as he left the store with sports cards in his backpack.

Then he took out several boxes of trading cards from his backpack before providing a fake name to officers at the scene, police said.
The cards are reportedly worth $1,000.
As officers tried to find out who he was, police said the man was taken to the police station and was told he’d be held for a bail hearing the following day.
