Canterbury police are continuing their work to identify a to lure children away using the app Pokemon Go.

The app allows people to catch Pokemon in the real world by using their smart phone's GPS and has been wildly popular with young people.

Two girls were approached by a man while they were playing Pokemon go at the Kaiapoi Library on Wednesday.

The man encouraged them to go with him to find some Pokemon.

Luckily the girls refused and police are now investigating.
