In a brazen early morning robbery, a Calgary camera store lost over $100,000 worth of merchandise in just 90 seconds—marking the third break-in the business has suffered in recent years.
The theft occurred shortly before 3 a.m. on Thursday, when a lone suspect broke into The Camera Store on 11 Avenue SW and swiftly targeted high-end equipment.
Surveillance footage shows the individual stuffing gear into what appears to be a hockey bag before fleeing the scene. The total loss is still being calculated, but store officials estimate it has already surpassed $120,000.
“He knew exactly what he wanted,” said Julian Ferreira, Operations Manager at The Camera Store. “He went into the Sony showcase and took a high-end list, leaving a lot of the lower-priced items.”
