Two men try to hide stolen games in pants, resell them at GameStop

Two men from Russellville, Arkansas were arrested on Saturday in connection to the theft of 114 video games. Markique Collins, 24, and Thomas Dixon, 25, stole the video game merchandise by hiding three to four games at a time in their pants. Stealing video games has been an ongoing activity for the two since December 9, 2008.

Det. Bobby Stevens of the Russellville Police Department testified at a bond hearing on Monday and said that Collins and Dixon stole about $6,000 worth of video game merchandise from Hastings Books, Music & Video. By concealing products in their pants, sensors were prevented from picking up that the games were being stolen. The two would go home and remove all security devices and stickers and then go back to GameStop to sell them.

A former employee of Hastings (who now works at GameStop) had been able to pick up on the situation. His store was receiving quite a few games from the two men and noticed that a sticky residue remained where Hastings typically places its stickers. Following this, the Hastings store was able to find video of the suspects stealing video games. Both Collins and Dixon have admitted to their wrongdoings. District Judge Don Bourne set Collins’ bond at $25,000 and Dixon’s at $10,000. The two men have been strictly warned to stay away from Wal-Mart - where they were arrested from criminal trespass not too long ago - in addition to Hastings and GameStop and Wal-Mart.

What noobs.

Why would you take thegames back to the store u jacked them from noobs!

Jus stick umm on ebay or summin.

i know, thats like stealing from a bank and putting the money back into the same bank but in your account it would look a bit dodgy. Like at the Gamestop board meetings they would of been saying 'we had 35 games stolen this week' and then 'we had 35 games traded in this week' lol. Stupid guys, they would of got away with it if they had not traded them back into GameStop

Total noobs!

They could have at least got the residue from the security sticker off the games.

how dumb can you get, why sell them back to the same shop?
dicks

Thats probably right on the dole cheap cunts.
