Pokemon GO Player Calls Police Claiming Someone Stole His Creature


Sounds like he was just trying to Jynx the other player out. Story out of Gloucestershire, England:

Pokémon Go players are calling 999 to ask the police to settle disputes between players.

Gloucestershire Police have said that a fan called the police because someone had “stolen their Pokémon”.

The theft was reported just a day after the game was officially released in the UK.

Police passed on some “words of advice” about when it is appropriate to call 999. Disputes within the game are not suitable for ringing the emergency number, they said.

The police didn’t elaborate on what the caller claimed to have happened. It isn’t actually possible to steal Pokémon from people, since the app allows anyone in an area to catch the same Pokémon and there is no real trading or battling system. Cont.
