Dashcam footage shows police ignoring robbery to play Pokémon Go

Footage has been published showing a pair of LAPD cops ignoring police calls to instead drive around and play Pokémon Go while on duty.

The incident dates back to April 2017, when Pokémon Go was still relatively new and both Snorlax and Togepi were relatively rare.

The video, which was published by 404media following public records requests, shows the car being driven erratically as the officers race to catch a Snorlax and then a Togetic – the evolved form of Togepi.
