Three teens robbed at gunpoint whilst playing Pokémon Go




Three teenage Pokémon Go players have been robbed of their mobile phones at gunpoint in a north London park.

The latest and shocking robbery has prompted police to warn of the dangers of roaming the streets with expensive mobile phones on show.

The victims, aged 15, 16 and 18, were understood to have been playing the popular mobile phone game in Whittington Park in Holloway on Tuesday night when three male teenagers approached them.

One of the alleged robbers, believed to be a 16 to 17-year-old referred to as Kushi, pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the victims while an accomplice demanded they hand over their devices.

The victims gave up their smartphones and left the scene shocked but unscathed, police said.
