An Edmonton man has been arrested after he tried to sell a limited-edition Wayne Gretzky hockey card roughly 40 kilometers away from where it was stolen, the card's owner says.
The Gretzky collectible, worth about $2,200, was among thousands of dollars worth of goods taken during a break-and-enter at the The Hobby Spot in Leduc on Feb. 4."It should deter thieves from all over North America from hitting hobby shops, along with the fact that we do document all the serial numbers on our cases and we video all of the cards in our display cases."
The Gretzky card raised eyebrows when a man brought it into Froggers House of Cards and Autograph Gallery in west Edmonton, an employee there told CTV News Edmonton. "So that kinda set off a red flag for me. And I was like, how do you have this big of a card and you don't know anything about it? That's kinda suspicious."RCMP said three of the cards stolen from The Hobby Spot were sold in the city, leading police to a 32-year-old suspect and his home in southeast Edmonton.
