The manager of a Twin Lakes collectibles shop is out of the job amid theft allegations. Allan A. Aguilar, 31, of Kenosha, managed Goldenrod City Collectibles, and the owners announced his firing on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
According to the owners, Aguilar allegedly took a collectible card valued at $4,500 from the business. That allegation is separate from the far larger loss the shop suffered earlier this year.
In August, the store was burglarized and more than $310,000 in Pokemon cards and other merchandise was taken. The owners say investigators are now examining whether Aguilar may have played a part in that burglary, described as a possible inside job.
The firing announcement came one day after Aguilar was charged in a different case, accused of stealing $53,575 from another collectibles business. In that case he was released on no-cash bail by Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel Kellum.
The allegations against Aguilar have not been proven in court. No outcome in either theft matter was reported in the announcement, and investigators have not publicly stated a conclusion about who carried out the August burglary.
