There are a number of media reports today of an incident of disorder in Surrey involving 30 people connected to the game Pokemon Go.

These reports stem from a freedom of information request for crime reports that included the word “Pokemon”. The incident on July 24 2016 that is being reported as a “involving 30 people” was called in to us by someone who happened to be out Pokemon hunting when they saw an unrelated altercation. The incident did not involve people hunting Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, or any other fictional collectable pocket monster.
