A person has been arrested for allegedly stealing Pokemon cards in a Surrey town, police have said.

Surrey Police's Embridge safer neighbourhood team carried out a plain clothes shoplifting operation in Cobham on Thursday.

The force said four arrests were made, including one after a person was suspected of stealing £160 worth of Pokemon cards.

Two arrests were also made in Cobham for allegedly stealing groceries, and in Weybridge, where one person was suspected of stealing clothing.

The force said one suspect had subsequently been charged with theft, one had been given an out of court disposal, and two had been bailed pending further investigation.
