PC Billy Mulligan meeting with some young gamers in Blyth
Scores of keen Pokemon Go gamers are gathering at a neighbourhood police office to use the virtual 'Poke Gym' there.
Officers realised that Blyth Neighbourhood Police Office was getting more than the usual number of visitors when large groups of people were seen walking outside the office on their virtual games, gazing at their phone screens.
Police investigated and found Blyth Police Station has inadvertently become a ‘Poke Gym’ overnight.
Officers have used the opportunity to get other crime prevention messages across and have been carrying out property marking on children's bikes and mobile devices.
