Two juveniles were arrested in San Francisco last month after they allegedly robbed a man while he was attempting to sell his collection of Pokémon cards, authorities said.

The San Francisco Police Department said in a press release on Thursday that officers responded on May 28 at about 3:20 p.m. to reports of a robbery at Palega Park at the intersection of Holyoke and Felton Streets in the city's Portola neighborhood.

The victim told officers that he had come to the park to meet up with someone who had arranged online to buy his collection of Pokémon trading cards. During the intended sale, the suspect examined the collection, pretended to pay the victim, and then pepper-sprayed him, police said.
