Man playing Pokemon Go reportedly robbed in Dover

The Dover Police Department says they are looking into a robbery of a man, while he was playing Pokemon Go, on Sunday.

Officials state that a 20-year-old man was playing Pokemon Go on Legislative Avenue, when a group of three men called out to him.

The victim reportedly approached them, thinking they were also playing the game, and then was assaulted and robbed of cash and a gold necklace.

The Dover Police is reminding Pokemon Go players to be aware of their surroundings and alert at all times. Players should not be playing near roadways and in areas that they are not familiar with, especially at night or in areas not heavily populated.

This investigation is ongoing, and officials ask anyone with information to call the Dover Police Department at 302-736-7130.
