It was almost closing time on Saturday night at the GameStop in the Festival at Bel Air shopping center in Harford County, Maryland when two men wielding semi-automatic weapons came through the doors and had themselves a little shopping spree. The two robbers proceeded to hold up the store and take everything that their hearts desired.
They stole cash from the register, video game consoles, and over 100 copies of the unreleased Call of Duty: Black Ops. While the robbery was taking place, two customers entered the store and were greeted at gun point. They were then forced into storage area. After the two men got everything they wanted, they fled the scene and escaped in a white mini-van.
Luckily none of the customers or GameStop employees were harmed during the robbery. Police arrived on the scene shortly after the incident took place. They believe the two men involved might be responsible for another GameStop robbery in Harford County a few weeks prior to this incident. No arrests have been made and Police are currently looking for the two men responsible for the robbery.
What is it with people stealing this many copies of Call of Duty? Last year, a man from Meadville, PA stole 100 copies of Modern Warfare 2. The only difference was, he did it after the game came out.

THEY SUCK.
man, they must have a fuck ton of friends for them to give, or to copy and paste it on a CD and bootleg it
How did they know if they were automatic weapons if they didn’t fire them ? Fucking idiot sensalionalist reporters.
well, they can tell by LOOKING at the gun. most likely a handgun, and most handguns are semi-automatic.
Automatic weapons aren’t semiautomatic weapons.
well at least no one was hurt
And it comes out in 2 days….they must be really impatient lol
Well stores don’t get games that early in advance, so I am sure they were playing it safe. Because how dumb would they look robbing them and demanding Black Ops when they don’t even have it, LOL
Wow, that’s only like 2 hours from my house. Wonder if I could go over to Harford and bum a copy off of one of them =p
Dude. i hear you. i would wanna just go to them be like “Do. i frigging pre ordered there. cough it up or meet MY semi automatic.
looks like little timmy aint gonna have a good Christmas
This is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute just sit right there

WINNAR!
Damn you Tuner, DAMN YOU! But glad someone else besides me though of this when reading this.
First thing that came to my head when i saw bel air
Tuner you sir are win
it would be funny if they tried to go to another gamestop, where they would buy the game for 25$…
Derp, all those games are coded so there gunna get caught sooner or later
coded?
All games are coded to show sold or unsold and to show if their legit copies or not hence how all the people who bootlegged reach were able to be banned and not the people who just legitimately got it early.
Another thing is that this game is suppose to be ‘better’ than MW2 with all the new tweaks. Like no quick-scoping. People love to hate MW2. I still play it yet I hate the hell out of that game. :/
100 copies, they will defiantly sell some online. They could probably find away to track that.
