The Rennes criminal court on Thursday sentenced three men to sentences ranging from eight months to two years in prison for violent theft. One of the attackers had heard about a collection of valuable Pokémon cards, through a mutual acquaintance with the victim.
Kept on the ground, beaten in the face and chest, the victim was forced to guide the criminals who were looking for cards with the most market value. The two men took away “between 10 and 20 120-liter garbage bags, filled with cards,” he reported.
