"Team Rocket," is that you? 

Henry County authorities are on the lookout for a man who allegedly pulled off a heist at a local Target, making off with over $2,000 worth of Pokémon collector's cards.

The suspect was caught on camera entering the Target store at 1850 Jonesboro Road in McDonough on the morning of August 16. Henry County Police Department said he was sporting a pink shirt, black pants, a backpack, and a cap. The man seemed to have one goal in mind: gotta catch 'em all — without paying, of course.

Footage shows him picking up two storage bins and loading them with several packs of Pokémon collector's cards. Then, like a Quick Attack, he exited the store. The total damage? $2,152.99, not factoring in possible resale value. 

Police said he drove away in a white Chevrolet Equinox with Alabama license plates. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective E. Luciano at 770-288-8278 or the Henry County Non-Emergency Dispatch at 770-957-9121. For those who prefer texting, tips, photos, and videos can be sent to 770-220-7009.
