Detectives are appealing for information after a valuable collectable ‘Pokemon’-brand card was stolen, and a man assaulted, at Warilla last month.
Police were told a 38-year-old man had arranged to sell rare collectable cards in a carpark at the intersection of Lake Entrance Road and Shellharbour Road, Warilla, about 10:45pm on Friday 28 March 2025.
The seller told police he was assaulted by a man purporting to be the buyer, before a card – which detectives have been told is worth more than $8000 – was stolen.
Strike Force Calmar has now been formed by detectives attached Lake Illawarra Police District to investigate the matter.
As that investigation continues, police have released images of a car seen in the vicinity of the incident. It’s described as a red 2023-model Ford Mustang with grey stripes, and police believe the driver may be able to assist with inquiries.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au Information is managed on a confidential basis. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
