MANILA - August 15, 2016

5 students were lured by the riding in tandem in a PokeStop in CUBAO using a Lure Module in Pokemon Go.

The students said that they were walking along P. Tuazon when they saw a Lure Module has been activated in a Poke Stop near Jollibee.

Distracted by their phones, an armed man easily got near them unnoticed and declared a robbery. Fearing for their lives, the teens frantically gave their phones to the man and they got away without any problems.

PNP Chief "Bato" Dela Rosa has warned the public on being careful with their handheld device, especially in crowded areas.

Pokemon Go has been downloaded for a lot more than 75 million times since its release.

It has been really popular worldwide, especially in the Philippines where fans downloaded the app even before it's PH release.
