“#Stormtrooper statue stolen from Long Island video game<\/a> store<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The police force may soon be with this thief.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Stormtrooper statue was stolen from the front of a Long Island store where it was on display last week, according to the owner and Suffolk County cops.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Surveillance from the Blast from the Past retro video game store on West Main Street shows two women<\/a> walking off with the 3-foot Star Wars figure on April 1. It was stolen around 3:10 p.m. that day, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was right around the corner getting gas when my manager informed me and said the Storm Trooper was stolen,\u201d\u00a0owner Richard McWilliams, 34, told the Post. \u201cThe guys who were inside couldn\u2019t see it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The statue \u2014 worth between $300 and $400 \u2014 wasn\u2019t even for sale at the shop, which had only been open since December, owner Richard McWilliams, 34, told the Post. It was simply an attraction outside, standing next to an R2D2 statue, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had gotten a pretty high amount of requests if we would sell him or not, and we turned everyone down,\u201d McWilliams said. \u201cBeing a new business, we\u2019re trying to get people to stop in and check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

By Friday, the statue was still missing and no arrests had been made \u2014 but McWilliams said police have been \u201creally, really responsive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Facebook<\/a> post about the theft gained traction quickly, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was actually pretty insane just how much support how many shares the post got,\u201d he said. \u201cMy sister-in-law shared the post and she got 600 shares. It\u2019s kind of crazy how much it\u2019s spread around very quickly.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
