A man who owns a Pokemon card shop in Cape Coral has been arrested for stealing trading cards from a Walmart in Highlands County.

According to the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, Matthew Foster, 47, was caught by Walmart security.

On January 26, a Walmart security guard noticed that Foster did not scan all the items in his cart at self-checkout.

The employee said that Foster scanned ten items with a scanner but then did not scan 20 or more items.

Once the video footage was reviewed, an itemized receipt was provided.

The grand total of items taken without paying was $751.

Foster has been charged with grand theft.

WINK News and Gulfshore Business did stories on Foster’s card trading business last year.
