Would-be Xbox 360 scalpers are robbed (Anchorage)Published by patto on Wednesday, December 21, 2005

After waiting nine hours in line, a group of five boys and young men entered the store as soon as it opened and purchased their limit: one per customer. The young men tried to make a little extra holiday cash after emerging from the store. They offered to part with two of their Xboxs to folks in line. For $600, said police spokesman Paul Honeman.
No one agreed. So the five, ages 14 to 24, piled into a van and drove to McDonald's on Lake Otis Parkway near Abbott Road for breakfast. They left the 14-year-old in the car with the Xboxs.
Someone who also wanted an Xbox and who apparently saw them trying to sell the consoles outside Best Buy followed them to McDonald's, Honeman said.
A man who was described as bald and wearing bluejeans and a blue hooded sweatshirt walked up to the van, opened its sliding door and pulled a gun out, police said. The man ordered the teen to open the van's rear door. Another man, described as having dark curly hair, opened the door and took four of the Xboxs.
The teen hid the fifth unit under his feet and managed to keep it, Honeman said. The thieves drove off in a dark SUV. Police believe a third person was involved.
