MONTREAL: At least three military police officers were ordered to play Pokémon Go in Canadian bases across the country, after players invaded the facilities in a quest to catch them all.

The interlopers were not foreign agents but fans of the wildly popular Pokémon Go app – launched in 2016 – trying to capture as many of the game's virtual characters as possible and even wandering into restricted army areas.
