ROBBERS USE POKÉMON GO TO LURE VICTIMS
Over in O’Fallon, Missouri, the police responded to reports of an armed robbery and subsequently caught four individuals armed with a handgun, and they wrote in their report that the robbers were using Pokémon Go to lure more victims. What they were doing was setting up beacons at Pokéstops- beacons can be set up at certain locations to lure more Pokémon to that area. When someone asked them in their Facebook post regarding this report if this was just an assumption, the police station responded that it wasn’t and that the robbers were indeed using the app to lure more victims to the area.
Something to think about here, though: did the victims find anything good thanks to the lures?
