Imagine this: you play Pokemon GO , trying to level your Poke-squad to kill the leader of the nearest gym, and then you're off ... ? Well, for a local Milford resident, this is exactly what happened to the 26 years that his quest to catch 'em all finished with the handcuffs.
The resident was cycling while playing the wildly popular app on his smartphone during his trip took him to the police station Milford. As the location is well known and in the center of the region, the center doubles as a gym Pokemon GO where users can train their Pokemon to fight. However, as trainers also know, the application itself does not show street names, so players often blindly wander around and use GPS-dependent application indication. Clearly, this man did not know he was going to the only place he tried to avoid.
With the game just man outside the police station, the chief of the local police described the encounter that followed his officers had with the man who had a warrant. "A couple of our officers looked out the window and saw standing by the mast," Tom Lindberg told, saying that officers quickly recognized the man after his pregnant many involved with the perp in question. Not surprisingly, the team came out to meet the man and arrested.
Lindberg said he is not sure if the man was aware of his destination, as he played Pokemon GO but he is grateful for the help of the game by catching Criminal thugs. He said: "When I learned this game, I was worried he was taking young adults in places they do not have to be - and could cause injury if they are not paying attention to what is happening around them. But I do not think anyone with a warrant would be driven by the game they had to walk to the police station. "
With Pokemon GO on the scene, it looks criminals could have a harder time blasting out of the local law enforcement if they need to capture pokemon outweighs their desire to avoid the court. It is likely that this case will not be the last of its kind that Nintendo application continues to grow in popularity worldwide.
