Thieves hit a shop in West Los Angeles on Sunday and took approximately $300,000 in Pokemon cards, the latest incident in which criminals have tried to “catch ’em all.”
Law enforcement believe the incident at RWT Collective in Sawtelle may have been linked to another such crime in Simi Valley, NBC Los Angeles reported Monday.
A customer of RWT Collective encountered the thieves as he was leaving and he was reportedly held at gunpoint in a parking garage. The cards, the NBC article said, were inside a briefcase.
Meanwhile, a similar theft happened at Simi Sportscards on Erringer Road where thieves broke in with a chainsaw. After smashing the display cases, the group fled with about $50,000 worth of cards.
