While some kids were opening their presents to get their first video game systems, one thief smashed into a store to get a PlayStation on Christmas.
Channel 9′s Almiya White went to Video Game World in Huntersville and learned that the PlayStation was the only thing the thief was after.
Standing on the back side of the store, you can see where the suspect smashed the windowpane of the door to get inside. Store manager Stephen Cobb said it felt like a movie scene.
“It sounded like something from Home Alone,” Cobb told White. “Came right through the back door and just grabbed a system and ran.”
Cobb says in the late hours of Christmas Eve into Christmas morning, his store became the victim of a smash and grab.
“They shattered the glass in our back door here. Shattered one of the panes, reached in, unlocked the door,” Cobb said. “They came in, they shattered our console case.”
