Robber ambushes Pokemon Go player in south Tulsa

Tue, Aug 15, 2017 — Apparently, people still play Pokemon Go.

A man was recently playing the once popular fad in south Tulsa, when he was ambushed by a robbery suspect with a knife.  KRMG’s told the suspect took the victim’s wallet.

The victim tells us he was looking at his phone and didn't notice the suspect until it was too late.

“It was my fault at the end of the day because I wasn’t paying attention,” the victim said.  “More shame on me than on him because I should know better.”

For reference, the robbery happened by a hotel at 81st and Lewis.  The suspect is still on the loose.

A description of the suspect hasn't been released.  Anyone with information regarding the robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
