Wethersfield Police: Pokemon Go Could Have Something To Do With More Trespassing Complaints

WETERSFIELD, CT - Police are not saying for sure, but the amount of trespassing complaints seems to have gone up with the arrival of the Pokemon Go game.

Police on Thursday said they have "been getting suspicious persons and trespassing complaints that usually result with a gone on arrival disposition."

Pokemon Go is a app that superimposes Pokemon characters onto real-life images on a portable electronic device in a game of virtual, high-tech scavenger hunt.

"How many are associated with the game app is unknown, but due to the increased number, we'd say the game must have something to do with it," police said.

Police are cautioning folks to beware about venturing onto other peoples' property and wandering at or near police stations.

"You never know how people are going react if they feel threatened by unknown persons, especially in today's climate," police said.
