Two 360s Taken In Armed Robbery

A Stafford, Virginia, Electronics Boutique store was the scene of an armed robbery this morning. According to sources, the perpetrator made off with two Xbox 360 systems, forcing the store manager to hand them over at gunpoint.

Sources tell GameSpot the local police responded quickly, cordoned off the store, and immediately pursued the thief. The thief was apprehended shortly afterward.

Because the police consider the heist an ongoing criminal investigation, store employees were reluctant to discuss details of the robbery. But as of press time, the store is open, and all systems are back to normal.

“We’re all fine, and everything is cool,” a store staffer told GameSpot.

Some people are just too desperate! Glad to hear that no-one was hurt as a friend of my in the US worked in a mall that yesterday was stormed by an armed gunman and a few people were injured, one seriously. It just amazes me sometimes the lengths people will go to ya know!
