Police in Pennsylvania are looking for a person who stole sports cards worth about $14,000 from a vendor space at an indoor flea market early Tuesday morning.
Video distributed by Northern York County Regional Police shows what appears to be a younger man using a tool to break into portable showcases at the Morning Sun Marketplace—a shopping facility near Thomasville, PA. Police say it happened around 1 AM.
The facility is only open to the public on weekends.
The owner of the vendor space inside the market told police he had a motion sensor installed that alerted him to the burglar. The vendor drove from his home to the marketplace to check on his property and got there in time to see the suspect, who was wearing a white mask and blue Nautica jacket.
On the video, the person can be seen pulling pack a blue covering on top of the cases and using a tool to break into a case, then removing several cards. Among them were a 1986-87 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card, a 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson, an Alex Ovechkin Young Guns rookie card and a Paolo Banchero rookie card. All had been professionally graded.
The suspect then places the covering back over the cases.
Police say when he spotted the shop owner arriving on scene, he ran away.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Northern York County Regional Police Department at 717.467.TELL (8355) or tips@nycrpd.org.
