In a Facebook post, the Smithfield Police Department invited a few "random citizens" to catch an extremely rare Pokémon in the station's processing room.

"The rarest Pokemon of all has been spotted in the Smithfield Police Department processing room: Ditto!" the police notice reads, referring to the legendary egg-making Poke that is believed to be uncatchable at this time.

"Since it so rare we can only allow a limited number of people in the building to capture it," the statement continued. "We put the mainframe computer in the basement to work and came up with a list of random citizens eligible for this rare opportunity. If your name is on the list below, you are one of the lucky folks invited to come to the Police Department for the capture!"

There were only 8 names on the list. People in the comments were quick to point out that to get on the list one would have to "commit a felony."

The post was shared by Sgt. Bryan Miller, a patrol sergeant and administrator of the Smithfield police Facebook page.

“I had no idea it was going to be this big,” Miller said to the Pilot Online.

He added that he doubted it would lead any criminals to the station, but he would be waiting with handcuffs if they did show up.
