    News: Cops Hunt Serial Video Game Store Robber

    Broward authorities are trying to end the game of a gun-toting video game store robber who may be responsible for three thefts in as many days.

    On Wednesday, the Game Stop located at 4905 Sheridan St. was robbed at gunpoint around 11 a.m. by a black female suspect, who authorities believe is the same woman who hit two other Game Stop stores in Miramar and Pembroke Pines.

    The female suspect fired several shots during today's robbery, but no one was injured. She escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

    On July 4, a Game Stop in Pembroke Pines was robbed and then, an hour later, employees at the Miramar store were held at gunpoint.

    Surveillance cameras captured a black female, who police believe to be 20-30 years old, wearing all black, threatening the employees and demanding money. Each time she got away.

    Anyone with information regarding these incidents is urged to contact the Pembroke Pines Police Department at 954-431-2200, email to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, or call Crimestoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

    Hey that's right near my house!

    When I was working at Gamestop, we were robbed twice, both around the holiday times by professionals. The second time they caught the people in a high speed chase on 595 and one of the 3 suspects were killed. The other had his arm severed in the accident, and the last one had his face chewed off by the K9 unit.

    But yeah that shit is crazy.

    A lot of people apparently. See a story about gamestop robberies at gamepolitics.com every couple of months or so.

    If you're going to chose a brick and mortar store to knock over, its not a bad choice honestly. Lots of kids buying games, kids generally use cash instead of credit/debit, they take in a good amount of cash, and everyone working in the store is a defenseless dork.

    Meh, I wouldn't say defenseless dork. In all honesty, minimum wage is not worth it to tell a dumb ass crook to piss off and wind up getting shot.

    I'd say defenseless dorks. I've never seen anyone work at Gamestop that wasn't socially inept and looked like he could defend himself, before getting exhausted after 2 seconds.

    When I worked at Gamestop we did way more debit/credit purchases than cash. Also, if the employees are doing what they should be, most of the cash should be secured in the safe and robber wouldn't be getting more than a couple hundred bucks. Of course this is Gamestop and they generally treat their employees like shit so the odds of them following policy are pretty low.

    Almost all businesses do more debit/credit than cash, the point I was trying to make, is that since it is a store that does cater to a younger demographic, I just took an uneducated guess that they'd probably have more cash per business dollar than say a Macy's or something.

    Then you've been in some pretty backwoods gamestops then. The 3 near my home, the guys all seem to be in decent shape and most of the women score about a 7 on a 1-10 scale.

"oh, i magically put these diapers in the plastic bag, i thought i swiped it over the scanner, ah well"
