🚨 Breaking News 🚨 Another one of our friends 🚨 Breaking News 🚨 Another one of our friends’ stores was broken into. New World Toys and Collectibles in Garner was hit overnight in the same way — a rock thrown through the front glass door and Pokémon cards stolen. @newworldtoys This marks the second small, family-owned shop in our community targeted recently. These are beloved stores of our local gaming scene, and this kind of hit can be devastating for a small business. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell bulk cards or posting suspicious quick-sale listings online. Let’s keep our eyes open, share information, and help track down whoever is responsible. . . . #gamingcommunity #gamers #pokemon #pokemoncollector #pokemoncards #tcgcommunity #tcg #nc #garner #garnernc #garnerstore #RaleighCommunity #thetriangle #raleighretrogamers
