Darrious Lamar Davis {PBCS}
A Coconut Creek man is accused of using a GameStop employee-issued device to steal Magic: The Gathering cards from two Palm Beach County stores.
According to the Palm Springs Police Department, Darrious Lamar Davis, 35, is accused of stealing more than $3,500 worth of merchandise from two GameStop locations in a single afternoon.
The investigation began after a Palm Springs GameStop manager discovered several items missing during a routine inventory check. Police said nine Magic: The Gathering Avatar Play Booster Box sets had been taken from a locked display case on January 8.
Surveillance footage reviewed by officers allegedly shows Davis entering the store, unlocking the secured cabinet, removing the merchandise, and leaving without paying. Authorities estimated the value of the stolen items at just over $3,500.
Detectives later linked the incident to a similar theft reported earlier that same day at a GameStop on Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach. In that case, police say locked display cases were also accessed and high-value items removed.
Records show investigators believe both thefts occurred within about 30 minutes of each other and were carried out using the same method. In each instance, Davis allegedly used a magnetic unlocking device, a tool generally issued only to store employees, to open the secured cases.
On January 20, West Palm Beach police responded to the GameStop on Okeechobee Boulevard after Davis reportedly returned to the store. Officers took him into custody and said they recovered a magnetic unlocking device, a tan backpack, and a black dreadlock wig believed to have been used during the thefts.
Court records, following an investigation, show that the PSPD later issued a warrant and that Davis was taken into custody on April 28 and transported to the Palm Beach County Main Detention Center.
