GTA V fans these days

Kirolos Abdel Sayed, 19 and an auxiliary police officer; enlisted the help of his friends Frank Santanasto (19) and Matthew Kirsheh (20) to help him in his nefarious plot. The three boys waltzed into the Staten Island Mall wearing police uniforms and flashed a badge so that they could gain entrance to a GameStop outlet. They purchased a copy of GTA V and then attempted to make their getaway.

The false cops had even gone to the effort of purchasing a former unmarked police vehicle at a police auction which was equipped with lights and sirens. Unfortunately, they were so nervous as a result of their clandestine actions that they ran through a number of stop signs outside the mall parking lot and were quickly pulled over by real policemen.

Aside from the embarrassment, the three play-play cops have been charged with criminal impersonation and could face a sentence of up to a year in jail.

I don't think this is a particularly notable piece of trivia. People commit crimes all the time, and this is just a standard, plotted crime.

I don't get it.

Was this for getting it before release date?

Then why did this Crime about Mw3 get accepted?

It broke a record.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

I don't get it.

I read the (horrendously written) article, and it turns out they used their fake credentials to jump the queue.
