A fan of the new mobile app Pokémon Go felt it was acceptable to contact the emergency services when someone took the animated monster he was planning on catching through his device.

The gentleman made the call from Gloucester, southwest England, on July 15 - one day after it officially launched in the UK - and was given a verbal warning from officers for wasting their time, according to the BBC.
