This is what you DON’T do when playing Pokemon GO

Pokemon fan pulled over catching virtual creatures

The 27-year-old man decided it would be a good idea to use the app as he was driving down a busy street in the West Midlands on Monday.

But the Poke-fan was pulled over by cops faster you can say “Pikachu” and officers made sure to have a laugh at his expense.

West Midlands Police traffic police sent out a Tweet that said: “Male caught Stourbridge ring road on mobile phone, we suspect Pokemon but the ticket will poke this ‘mon’ into not using Pokemon GO.”

The force said in a statement: “He was issued a fixed penalty notice ticket and has been reported to the traffic process office.”

NABBED: Cops pulled over the bloke while he was catching virtual creatures

Since the app, which sees players travel round the real world while trying top catch creatures in the virtual world, was released in the UK last week its popularity has exploded.

And the bloke in the West Midlands is just the latest to make headlines playing the game.

In Gloucestershire, one fan of the game dialled 999 to report someone had “stolen their Pokemon”.

The caller was apparently given a bit of a dressing down and told when it’s actually appropriate to call for emergency services.

And Nottinghamshire Police said it has received seven calls in the past week relating to “suspicious activity” – each of the cases involved gamers playing Pokemon Go.

They included two teenage lads who spooked villagers in Normanton on Soar as they searched for Pokemon by torchlight in the early hours of July 12.

Three students also had their phones nicked in a park in Hulme, Manchester, on Saturday while they were playing, prompting safety warnings from the National Crime Agency.

App creator Niantic said: “We take player safety seriously and want everybody to have a fantastic time exploring while safely playing Pokemon Go.

“We encourage all people to be aware of their surroundings and to play with friends or family, especially when you’re exploring unfamiliar places.

“Please remember to be safe and alert at all times, don’t drive and play, abide by local laws, and respect the locations you visit and people you meet during your exploration.”
