Police had to get involved at a Costco in Mississauga, Ontario after a chaotic scene unfolded following an early morning release of highly anticipated Pokemon cards.
As IGN reported, an Instagram video posted by PokeStreetz showed a crowd of people groaning over soiled and trampled Pokemon cards on April 10. Local news outlet 905Hub shared the video on X on April 13, detailing the messy situation as police intervened.
“A crowd of 30–40 people had lined up for a Prismatic Evolutions drop around 6:45 a.m. when someone threw coffee on a cart full of boxes, a car struck the cart sending packs flying, then drove over them before speeding off,” according to 905Hub. “Police were already on site and reportedly towed the vehicle.”
