Police hints for Pokemon Go users

A spike in suspicious, illegal and sometimes dangerous behaviour linked to Pokemon Go has sparked a warning from Tasmania Police.

POLICE STATE THE OBVIOUS FOR POKEMON GO USERS

* Never Pokemon Go and drive. It is not legal or safe to drive while using a mobile phone. If you want to hunt for Pokemon in a car, ask someone else to drive.

* Never stop in dangerous locations, especially in the middle of intersections, and do not distract your driver with your hunt.

* When chasing Pokemon on foot, please look up, pay attention to your surroundings and watch where you are going. Be alert when crossing the road and never stand in the middle of busy roads.

* Do not go onto private property or areas that you usually would not go if you weren't playing the game. Your attempts to capture a Pokemon could be considered suspicious behaviour by others, who then call police.
