Man hides in church bathroom, steals video game products with cohorts

Five thieves were involved with a crime in which six video game systems taken from the Northside Baptist Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. A Wii, a 360, and a number of PlayStation 3 systems were stolen.
One suspect was able to hide in the bathroom until the church closed for the night. Later, he opened the back door for his friends. The group then proceeded to rip consoles from the wall (see image below), which would end up costing $3,200 in damages.
The crime was reported the next day. The whole act was recoded thanks to a camera inside the church. Some of the thieves attempted to sell the consoles to GameStop, but because the store records serial numbers, investigators matched codes and managed to return three consoles.
Only one of the suspects still remains in jail. Gasim Wood, 29, has been charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretense and breaking and entering. His secured bond is set at $15,000.

FREE RUNNING LEAPS ONTO NINTENDO Wii, NINTENDO DS AND PC!
Free RunningTM, the smash-hit extreme sports game on PS2 and PSP, is heading (and leaping) to WiiTM, DSTM and PC formats in Q2 2009!
Peter Rezon, Reef Entertainment Managing Director said, “Following the success of Free RunningTM across Europe, we’ve wanted to expand the game’s formats, and at the same time, play to each formats strengths. So with the WiiTM version for example, similar to our recent release Rogue Trooper®: Quartz Zone Massacre, we’ve utilised the Wii controllers to great effect, making the Free RunningTM experience unique to WiiTM. We now have physical interface which works brilliantly with the extreme sport which is Free Running!”
In addition, both the Nintendo DSTM and PC version have been given an overhaul in terms of gameplay, graphical look and feel.
