Police warning over PS4 controllers and headsets as massive £200,000 PlayStation burglary hits Calderdale

Police are asking anyone who is offered one of these headsets to be vigilant

West Yorkshire Police are urging anyone offered X Rocker, Custom Controllers or Mayhem branded PS4 gaming controllers or headsets in a deal that seems too good to be true to get in contact.

A batch of the controllers and headsets worth around £200,000 were stolen during a burglary in Calderdale last weekend.

It is expected the items will now be offered for sale and officers are urging potential buyers to be cautious.

A spokesman for the force said: "A significant quantity of controllers and headsets (such as those pictured) worth around £200,000 were stolen during a burglary in the Calderdale area that happened last weekend (between 14 November and 16 November)

"It is expected the items will now be offered for sale and officers are urging potential buyers to be cautious.

"Although different designs were stolen they are all quite distinctive and identifiable by their brand names – X Rocker, Custom Controllers and Mayhem."

DC Craig Pearson of Calderdale CID, said: “These items might well be listed for sale on online sites or offered to stores as a bulk purchase. I would urge any potential buyer to be cautious when agreeing to buy these items – especially if they are offered for sale cheaply.”

Anyone offered the items for sale is asked to contact DC Craig Pearson of Calderdale CID on 101 quoting crime reference 13200573806
