GameStop Offering $5000 Reward for Capture of Armed Bandit

As much as this sounds like a Red Dead Redemption marketing stunt, it's a real thing.

Police in Texas are on the lookout for a man believed to be on a GameStop-robbing spree, hitting as many as five stores in the state.

Having robbed a store in Haltom City at gunpoint, they believe he's also the man responsible for the hold-up of GameStop stores in Watauga, Roanoke, North Richland Hills and Hurst as well.


In addition to appeals from Police for information, GameStop itself is offering $5000 for information leading to his arrest. He's pictured above, so if you feel like ripping this off the screen, stuffing it in your vest and riding off into the sunset to get your man, go knock yourself out, cowboy.
