MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two people were arrested after allegedly stealing more than $1,300 worth of football and Pokemon cards from a Manitowoc department store.
Formal charges haven’t been filed, but Amber Lutzke, 21, and Nicholas Arizola, 21, made bail appearances Monday.
A signature bond was set for Lutzke, who returns to court March 30 for an initial appearance. A $1,000 cash bond was set for Arizola.
According to a probable cause statement, police reviewed security footage from the Meijer store and determined the two took seven boxes of football cards, 15 boxes of Pokemon cards and other items. All told, their value was $1,376.23.
Lutzke told police perhaps she stole two boxes, not more. The thefts are “something we do together,” she told police.
When searching a residence in connection with the investigation, police found a variety of trading cards, as well as drug paraphernalia and counterfeit money, according to the probable cause statement.
