Police chief warns of Pokemon Go dangers
Pokémon Go features a Lure module, which attracts Pokémon to a Pokéstop location for a limited time, and other players are also more likely to go to that area to benefit from the effect. Police sergeant Bill Stringer has warned users of the dangers of the lure element of the game in light of robberies that took advantage of this feature.
Four teenage robbers, aged between 16 and 18, lured unsuspecting victims into an isolated trap in Missouri. They were later arrested and were in possession of a handgun; the adult suspects have been charged with first degree robbery, a felony, and had bond set at $100,000 cash.
