Burglary at a gaming shop in Gloucester

Burglary at Full Fire TCG Gloucester

According to an article published on 8 April 2026, a gaming shop in Gloucester was targeted by thieves who stole Pokémon trading cards valued at approximately £25,000. ITV reports that the break-in occurred during the night of 21 February at the Full Fire TCG Gloucester store.

CCTV footage reviewed by the shop owner, Ben Powell, shows three masked suspects entering the premises, with one individual seen carrying a crowbar. The suspects spent roughly 30 minutes inside the shop, removing around 600 individual cards from cabinets. Following the incident, the owner has installed window bars and moved high-value inventory to a more secure location.

Gloucestershire Police have confirmed that officers attended the scene and that an investigation into the burglary is currently ongoing. The owner has appealed for anyone with relevant information regarding the theft to come forward.

Business owners are encouraged to conduct regular security audits and ensure that high-value inventory is stored in reinforced, locked containers outside of operating hours.
