Accused burglars backed an SUV through a window of a GameStop store before stealing Xbox consoles and other gaming accessories, according to a Florida police department.

Officers responded just after 3 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 19 to a GameStop store at a shopping center near central Orlando, according to a report from the Orlando Police Department.

A Hyundai Tucson SUV had been driven backwards through the window and was sitting entirely inside the store, a photo shared by the police department on Twitter shows. Shattered glass and damaged store parts were strewn across the floor.

Multiple Xbox consoles and other gaming accessories totaling nearly $1,260 were missing, the report says. The crash caused about $60,000 in damage to the store.
