Police believe the teenager was trying to catch a Pokemon on the popular mobile app when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into St Francis Xavier College in Berwick, Melbourne on Thursday.

Fortunately, no one was injured. Police spokeswoman Julie-Anne Newman said, “Any 'Poke balls,' eggs or potions the driver may have had remaining only attracted police, leaving the wild Pokemon for another day.”

Newman said the driver is expected to be charged on summons in relation to careless driving.
