Camera Store Hit: $100K Photo Gear Stolen [drafts folder]

A person wearing a hooded jacket and gloves is smashing a glass display case inside a store, surrounded by shelves of electronics. The scene is captured in black and white, likely from a security camera at night.

Did you see this? The Camera Store, one of the top photo retailers in Western Canada, was hit by a major burglary this week. In the early hours of October 23,
