A series of incidents involving ardent players of the smartphone game "Pokemon Go" were reported Saturday and Sunday across Japan.
In Mizuho Ward, Nagoya, a 22-year-old female university student on a bicycle had her bag snatched from the bike's front basket by a man on a motorcycle at about 3 p.m. on Sunday.
She was absorbed in the game when the man sneaked up behind her.
The bag contained ¥2,000 (S$26) in cash and other things, but the woman was not injured.
According to Aichi prefectural police, she was heading to a nearby park to hunt "Pokemon Go" monsters while looking at her smartphone.
The game was released in Japan on Friday.
