Four Victorian men seem to have taken the Pokemon theme song “Gotta Catch ‘em All” a little too literally, allegedly stealing around $50,000 worth of collectable trading cards along with an eclectic mix of other goods during a series of commercial burglaries across the state.

Fortunately, Victoria Police were also inspired by the song and did indeed catch all four men whom they allege are responsible for the thefts.
