"Surveillance cameras captured footage of a man hiding out in a Pasadena Best Buy store hours before it was set to open, coinciding with a crowd of Pokémon fans outside."
"Police believe Keys went into the Best Buy during store hours and hid inside at the time of closing, with no signs of forced entry found."
"He ate some snacks, had some drinks, and it's unknown if he actually stole anything else, although footage shows him taking AirPods out of their packaging."
"Officers don't believe Keys was hiding out in the store to be the first to nab a set of the Pokémon cards, as Bundy stated, 'As far as I can tell, it was a coincidence.'"
