Five people have been arrested and 1 other suspect is still wanted by police after a break-in and theft at a gaming store in Adelaide.
Police will allege that about 9.30am on Tuesday 10 August, patrols were called to a business on King William Street after entry had been forced to the shop, with a large number of rare Digimon trading cards and board games stolen from inside.
About 1.15pm, a man returned to the store with some of the stolen cards enquiring about their value and if he could sell them to the store.
Staff recognised the cards as some of the ones that were stolen from the store, and immediately called police.
After further enquiries, the suspect led police to a nearby house where the majority of the cards and games were located, along with two other suspects.
About 3pm, a fourth suspect went to the store, also in possession of more stolen cards. He asked to staff to value them so he could sell them, but instead they called police who arrested the man.
A 41-year-old Belair man, a 30-year-old Adelaide woman, a 28-year-old man from Adelaide, a 28 year old Seaton man and a 41-year-old man of no fixed place were all charged with numerous offences including serious criminal trespass, unlawful possession and theft by receiving.
Police are following positive lines of enquiry regarding the remaining suspect.
