The Los Angeles Police Department recently released a video that captured two on-duty officers talking about the mobile video game Pokémon Go while also ignoring a robbery call in 2017.

The video was released on Oct. 5, 2023, and sheds light on the incident, which was only described in department records and court records before, the L.A. Times reported.

The video captured former LAPD officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell discussing how to catch a Snorlax and trying to capture the rare Togetic in the game while ignoring a report of several people who were in the process of robbing a Macy’s in the Crenshaw Mall, the Associated Press reported.

A police captain who arrived at the scene saw their patrol car parked nearby and wondered why the officers didn’t respond and said he had to respond to the call.
