North Wales Police had to issue a warning recently to remind people to be aware of their surroundings after people were seen playing it on and near to the A55.

The following advice that sadly appears not to be common sense was issued:

• Don’t make yourself vulnerable. Don’t be tempted to take your phone out in busy or unlit areas where you could be a target for thieves
• Concentrate on dangers around you and be careful when crossing the road – don’t just focus on your device
• Never play the game while driving
• Don’t trespass on private property
