On the same day Premier Daniel Andrews announced tough new restrictions, a man travelled into the CBD to play Pokemon Go !
A Sunshine man is making his case for most absurd reason to be in the city.
Victoria Police say the unnamed individual travelled 13km from the city’s western suburbs on Sunday to play Pokemon Go – the augmented reality game where users detect Pokemon characters on their phone’s GPS and try to “catch them”.
For his efforts, he received a fine of $1652.
He was one of 172 people who breached the chief health officer’s directions which stipulate Melburnians must stay home except when working, studying, exercising, shopping or for medical care.
