Armed Robbers Steal Call of Duty: Black Ops from Gamestop

In anticipation of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops, it looks like some hardcore gamers took part in some black ops of their own. At least two men armed with semi-automatic handguns entered the Bel Air shopping center Gamestop in Bel Air, Maryland shortly before closing. They made off with cash, consoles, and four cases of Call of Duty: Black Ops with more than 100 copies. The employees were forced into a storage area, but fortunately were unharmed.

Police suspect these are the same men who robbed an Aberdeen, Maryland Gamestop on October 21st. They fled the scene in white minivan, a vehicle that was also seen during the Aberdeen robbery.

Black Ops isn’t scheduled for release until Tuesday, so a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office is asking anyone to call in if they’re offered the game early.

      Hey, I comb every crime story I read for news of a flintlock pistol, so it’s important for me to clarify!
