Pokémon GO users will apparently stop at nothing to bolster their Pokédexes, even if it means a little light trespassing.

The app designates landmarks as ‘Pokestops’, which wannabe trainers can then visit to capture new Pokémon and collect fresh Poké Balls.

Churches are proving a bizarrely popular choice, and it appears that a few police stations have ended up listed too.

“For those budding Pokemon Trainers out there using Pokemon Go - whilst the Darwin Police Station may feature as a Pokestop, please be advised that you don't actually have to step inside in order to gain the pokeballs,” the Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services wrote on Facebook.

“It's also a good idea to look up, away from your phone and both ways before crossing the street. That Sandshrew isn't going anywhere fast.

“Stay safe and catch 'em all!”
