Another man dressed in a T-shirt and jeans was also there at the same time.

The owner said: “Watch out.

“These two thieves thought they were Team Rocket.

“Local businesses beware, over £300 worth of Pokémon slabs and singles.

“All live stock is behind the counter or in locked cabinets.

“We keep some cards on the counter for people to look through but have cameras set up as a deterrent.

“Unfortunately can’t catch them all.

“But hopefully it will be a deterrent for any future would be thieves.”

Leicestershire Police has been approached for comment.

Pokémont is the highest-grossing media franchise in history.

The animated TV series, movies, trading cards and the mega-hit mobile game Pokémon Go! have all helped win fans across the globe.
