There’s a trend of comic book stores getting robbed in Edmonton: most recently, Wizard’s Comics & Collectibles on the southside was hit twice in three days and the thieves got away with thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise. As Lisa MacGregor reports, it’s the latest crime wave and the criminals know exactly what to look for: Pokemon and Magic the Gathering cards that can fetch a big resale price.
