Minnesota’s hobby community is dealing with yet another discouraging setback. Ash’s Trainer Shop in Owatonna has become the latest store hit in a wave of break‑ins that have swept across the state since late June.
Early details suggest a familiar pattern: the front door’s glass was smashed to gain entry, mirroring several of the recent incidents. It’s not yet known what was taken or how extensive the damage is inside. The timing adds an extra layer of difficulty for the owners, as Ash’s Trainer Shop had just begun the process of relocating to a new space.
This marks at least the sixth Minnesota card or hobby shop break‑in in just over a month, a troubling trend defined by quick smash‑and‑grab entries and minimal time spent inside.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the shop or local law enforcement.
