A Glendale card shop was burglarized during the early morning hours of Friday as thieves stole $100,000 worth of collectibles by tunnelling into the business, the business owner said Friday.
The owner of Blue Sports Cards told NBC Los Angeles that the burglars broke into the nail shop next door then made their way into the card shop without triggering the security system.
The owner, who identified himself as Ara, said the burglars were in and out of the business within four minutes, only grabbing high-value items.
This is the third card shop burglary in the San Fernando Valley since Dec. 5
On Thursday, a group of thieves also broke into two Woodland Hills businesses: They first made their way into Mendocino Farms on Mulholland Drive then broke a hole into the wall to reach Cards & Coffee. The burglars made off with Pokémon cards and sports memorabilia, including Kobe, LeBron and Michael Jordan trading cards.
