Police Seek Driver Who Tried to Lure Girls Into Minivan to Play Pokemon

Victims told police the suspect was not wearing a shirt and had tattoos on his arms and chest

Police in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, are searching for the man who allegedly asked three young girls to get inside his minivan to play the popular 'Pokemon Go' game.

Officers were called to an area of Lady Slipper Road at about 6:30 p.m. after a call that three 11-year-old girls were approached by the man.

The girls told police they were walking down the street when the driver of the black minivan asked them to get inside to play 'Pokemon Go.' After they refused, the girls ran off.

The driver is described as a well-built, dark skinned male in his 20's. Because he was not wearing a shirt at the time of the incident, the victims were able to see that he had tattoos on both of his arms and chest.

Police have been going door to door to locate additional witnesses. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact Bridgewater Police.
