Three Pokémon Go players in the German town Übach-Pallenberg drove around with a car at a very low speed, to hatch egg. Police thought they plan a bank robbery, as there was a bank where they drove around.

In Munich and Augsburg, Germany there are events planned, where players can drive with the tram for 4 hours and catch Pokémon, the tram will be driving slowly so the egg hatching works.

People have also been shot at, robbed at gun point, fallen into lakes etc.

Not surprising though considering the number of people playing.
