Disc Heroes needs help after 3 robberies

Posted on by

It’s been a rough few weeks for the southeast Portland comic shop Disc Heroes. They’ve been the victims of three break-ins in three weeks in which they lost over $30,000 worth of product.

The robberies saw the thieves smashing the door window, smashing the back door, destroying display cases, and more.

The store has added more security precautions and is working with their landlord to improve security but still needs help.

Deductibles, repairs, and security improvements all cost money, even with insurance.

A GoFundMe has been created to help them out and is looking to raise $10,000.
