A 19 Action News camera captured exclusive pictures of a police sting.

But this had nothing to do with drugs.

Cleveland 5th District investigators recovered thousands of dollars worth of stolen yo-yo's.

Several days ago, someone broke into the Cleveland Yo Yo Club and thieves stole nearly two-dozen yo-yo's, some worth $200.

Police say someone then called the club offering to sell those yo-yo's to the club.  Investigators then went undercover and had the victims set up a meeting at McDonald's on Lakeshore.

Police say a man and a woman showed up with 18 of the yo-yo's and they were busted.
