Since the epidemic, the price of Pokémon cards has soared to an astonishing height, and rare Pokémon cards have become collectors, investors, and unfortunately - even more dreamy items for thieves.In recent years, there have been many card store robberies and thefts in Japan related to Pokémon cards, resulting in losses of up to millions of yen.Recently, an incredible case occurred in Japan. The operator of a Pokémon card store was recently arrested for robbing another Pokémon card store - and the two stores were actually in the same block!

According to Japan's Sanspo, on July 9, Japanese police arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of robbery.The man was accused of threatening the owner of a card store with a knife and robbing 123 items including cash and Pokémon cards, worth about $94,000 (about 670,000 yuan).He is the third arrested person related to the case, and two of his accomplices have been previously detained.

Although police did not disclose more details of the case, on social media, the owner of the victim card store revealed that the third suspect recently arrested was actually the manager of another store that mainly operates Pokémon and One Piece card store.What's even more exaggerated is that these two stores are obviously on the same street.

According to the owner's social media post, there are other people involved in the robbery that have not been arrested, which is why he decided to disclose the information and hopes to get clues.The post quickly spread and people were terrified that Pokémon card retailers were "involving each other".The biggest problem facing thieves when dealing with stolen goods is how to take them off without being tracked - but owning a store selling similar products undoubtedly makes this stolen sales much easier.
