A 35-year-old Michigan man is in jail for what police are calling a series of thefts of thousands of dollars in trading cards from local retail outlets.
Officers in Wixom, MI, say they arrested Daniel Glenn Jackson after zeroing in on him as a prime suspect.
Last Thursday morning, officers conducted surveillance after receiving information that a suspect would be attempting to steal a large quantity of cards from the Meijer store in Wixom. As he walked out the front door, Jackson was arrested on charges relating to other thefts in similar locations in southeast Michigan, including Commerce Township and Van Buren Township.
After Jackson was arrested, officers searched his vehicle and found what appeared to be hundreds of packs of cards, with an estimated value of more than $18,000. Police say he would wear multiple coats and conceal them on inside pockets, then leave the store without paying.
A photo released by police showed numerous packs of Panini Prizm basketball and football among the hundreds displayed on a table. Police didn’t say whether they believe Jackson stole others.
Jackson, of Farmington Hills, MI, is facing felony charges. He was booked into the Oakland County Jail last Thursday afternoon and remains there, with bond set at $10,000.
