A thief ransacked a games shop and made off with £65,000 worth of rare Pokémon cards - a loss the owner described as a "killer" blow to his business.
Phillip Hobbs used a hammer to break into Badzgaming shop in Cwmbran, Torfaen, where he stole the items and £1,700 in cash before fleeing on a stolen motorbike.
While the the items were recovered, shop owner Alex Badham said many cards were damaged by petrol in the failed getaway and were now practically worthless.
He said the future of his business now relied heavily on his insurance claim outcome, adding: "A loss of this size is a killer."
Pokémania took the world by storm in the 1990s but more than three decades later it has evolved to include a booming trading card market.
