## Resource

Laval police are sounding the alarm over a spike in crimes tied to Pokémon card sales—ten suspects nabbed, four specifically linked to card thefts. Deals started on Facebook Marketplace, but turned violent when buyers met sellers in person, often with pepper spray in hand. Since January, 30 incidents reported, 11 since March, seven involving violence. Ten teens, ages 16–18, arrested June 9–11 on robbery and assault charges. Police urge sellers to meet in well-lit, camera-covered spots—and never go alone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
