A man has been arrested after being accused of stealing “approximately $10,000 worth” of Nintendo Switch video games from US libraries.

The man in question is Jamal Reed-Obafumi, who is said to have targeted multiple public libraries in Northern California. As spotted by GameSpot, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook it had arrested 45-year-old Reed-Obafumi earlier this month, on 17th June.

The Office alleged Reed-Obafumi was “connected to a string of at least seven different burglaries of Marin County Libraries”. These incidents took place between April and June of this year, although specific libraries were not mentioned.

According to the Facebook post, Reed-Obafumi now faces 12 felony charges. These include multiple “counts of burglary”, in addition to “committing a felony while out on bail”, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said, before closing:

“Our libraries are pillars of the community and must be safeguarded for everyone to enjoy!”

It is currently unclear if any of the stolen Switch games have been recovered. Eurogamer has contacted the Marin County Sheriff’s Office for comment.

Elsewhere in Switch news, the Switch 2 got off to a flying start on its debut this month, with Nintendo trumpeting the console as its “fastest-selling hardware ever”. However, despite this, reportedly third-party game sales for the console were mostly “very low”.
