The Volkswagen Polo driver was stopped in Holland Market in Spalding overnight on Thursday (July 21) and found to be using the smartphone app, which has created a craze across the world.

Spalding Police, who had spotted the car being driven slowly through the town centre, tweeted: “Suspected Drink Driver actually chasing Pokemon.
