REPORTS of people trespassing while playing Pokémon Go has prompted a warning from Ledbury police.
The new mobile app Pokémon Go has captured the public's imagination as they go and explore the streets to catch Pokémon characters.
But Ledbury Safer Neighbourhood Team are urging people playing Pokémon not to inadvertently trespass onto private property.
They are also warning people that, due to the current threat levels, anybody found on a police site for non-police business and without authorisation will be challenged.
PCSO Alexander urged players to concentrate on the real world when catching Pokémon, and issued the following advice:
- Don't make yourself vulnerable. Don't be tempted to take your phone out in busy or unlit areas where you could be a target for thieves
- Concentrate on dangers around you and be careful when crossing the road
- Don't just focus on your device.
- Never play the game while driving.
- Don't trespass on private property.
