Hamilton police were called to EB games on Golf Links rd in Ancaster at 2:30 am Wednesday morning when an off-site security company called about a break and enter.

The front doors of the store had been smashed by a pickup truck, damaging the window, the frame, and the shelving inside the store.

Police say gaming consoles were stolen and the thieves fled in the same truck they used to smash their way in.

Less than three weeks ago, on January 5th, thieves similarly used a vehicle to ram into an EB games on Rymal road and then steal video game consoles. Police were called shortly before 8 a.m.

Police now say they believe there’s a strong link between these two incidents.
