PSNI Issues Warning To Pokemon Go Users
PSNI in Craigavon have issued a warning to Pokemon Go users after they caught a car "cruising slowly" because her sister wanted to catch some Pokemon.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "Pokemon Go is not designed to be played from a vehicle that's moving on a road. This is a massive road safety issue, at best, it's careless. You can't cruise about the road at 15mph, its far too dangerous folks regardless of the time of day."
However, the spokesperson was also able to provide some honour to the story.
They added: "Have fun, catch as many as you can, and get out and enjoy the good weather while it lasts!
.... And if anyone can tell me where there's a Pikachu.... It'd be much appreciated."
