Police find stolen Pokémon cards with suspected assailants

Three men, aged 25, 27, and 30, have been arrested and taken into custody in connection with a severe assault that occurred on Østerbro two weeks ago. The victim, a 23-year-old man, was reportedly stabbed multiple times in the torso and buttocks on July 14. Authorities confirmed the victim was no longer in mortal danger following the incident.

The three suspects have pleaded not guilty to the charges and were remanded in custody for 27 days. During searches of their apartments and vehicles, Copenhagen Police discovered a significant quantity of stolen Pokémon cards. These cards are believed to originate from a burglary at the store Papklubben in Hørsholm, which took place earlier this week.

In addition to the charge of aggravated assault, the three men have also been charged with theft. The stolen Pokémon cards have an estimated combined value of 100,000 Danish kroner, according to police. Copenhagen Police are currently investigating whether the 23-year-old victim had any prior relationship with the three accused perpetrators, though initial findings suggest no such connection.

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to piece together the events leading up to the assault and the subsequent discovery of the stolen goods. The connection between the violent crime and the theft of valuable trading cards is a key focus for the police as they continue their work.
