Unusual: Police patrol ignores robbery to catch Pokemon

An unusual situation occurred in 2017 when two LAPD officers ignored an ongoing robbery in order to catch Snorlax and Togetic in Pokemon Go They also ran a stop sign, drove through residential neighborhoods and around speed bumps, tailed several cars and drove the wrong way down a one-way road to catch them all.

And now a video has been discovered that was published by several American media outlets and which was also circulated by publication 404.

The bizarre and negligent event of April 15, 2017, which resulted in the firing of Officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, is now beginning to go viral.

Part of the conversation between both police officers was recorded by Vice in 2022:

Mitchell: “Snorlax just showed up.”
Lush: “What do you mean where?
Mitchell: “46 and Leimert”.
Lush: “It says… (inaudible)”
Mitchell: “No”.
Lush: “Does this say anything about… (inaudible)”
Mitchell: “No”.
Lush: “Leimert will only arrive in 46 hours, right? Or do you know what it can do? I’ll go down to the 11th. Get into Crenshaw. “That way I can get to him.”
Mitchell: “If this light changes. You can go from 11th to 46th and then turn right on 46th if it’s Calvary Chapel. Chapel of Christian Calvary. Remember we were there before? You went to check out the church. This is exactly the place. We have four minutes… then after that Togetic just showed up… I think they were updating their server because I need to install an update… Why is it still green? A couple of minutes.
Lush: “And we will have the same result as yesterday… And it will flare up and become something else.”
