Vancouver police are investigating the theft of some high-value Pokémon cards from a collectibles store on Monday morning.
Police said officers were called to the Royal Card Shop and Collectibles, located at 4355 Dunbar St., at 2:58 a.m.
When they arrived on the scene, they found that the rear door of the business was pried open and the safe with the cards inside was pulled out.
Investigators said they were able to obtain surveillance video, which showed two masked suspects breaking in and then using a truck, which turned out to be stolen, to rope and pull out the safe.
