HOLLAND — Holland Department of Public Safety detectives have identified a possible suspect in the recent burglary of Super Hideaway Gaming and recovered stolen merchandise.
The burglary happened early Sunday, Nov. 10, and included the theft of over $15,000 of trading cards, including $14,000 in singles and $1,600 in sealed products.
After reviewing area surveillance cameras the day of the break-in, police were able to identify a vehicle they believed was used in the robbery.
In an update issued Tuesday, Nov. 26, HDPS said it located a vehicle matching the description of the one seen in surveillance footage and obtained a warrant to search the vehicle. During the search, police located many of the cards taken in the robbery.
Holland detectives are continuing to investigate the situation and plan to submit a report to the Ottawa County Prosecutor’s Office requesting charges in the near future, according to a release. The suspect’s name was not released Tuesday.

According to a previous report from HDPS, the robbery doesn’t appear random — and is similar to other recent break-ins at stores in Kentwood and Grandville, as well as Ace Sports Cards on Eighth Street.
Since the break-in, owner Aaron Mooneyhan has been left to pick up the pieces. He’s made a campaign on GoFundMe to help recoup some of his losses. It has since raised $3,805 towards a $5,000 goal.
Mooneyhan declined a request from The Sentinel for further comment following the HDPS update Tuesday.

Mooneyhan previously said money raised in the GoFundMe would help with repairs to the business and to help restock sealed and single inventory while also allowing them to upgrade their security system.
“We relied on those singles (because) they sell the fastest in store and online,” he said. “It hurts even more that we can’t service our customers who rely on them for tournaments and casual play and collecting.”
