Witness statement |
“I was working the front doors at GameStop when I saw a group of young guys, including Alex Davis, trying to steal video games. His friends took off and left the stolen stuff behind, but I caught Alex, who had some of the stolen games on him. I called the cops right away and helped sort things out.” – GameStop security guard, Chris Anderson |
