POKEMON GO has swept across Redditch, as gamers battle it out in real life to capture the creatures.

Several places in the town have been reported as Pokémon catching hotspots including, St Stephens Church, The Ecumenical Centre and Millward Square in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre. 

Those hoping to boost their collection should visit Millward Square in the Kingfisher Centre on Saturday (July 23) when a lure, helping to attract rare Pokémon, will be released.  

A spokesman from the Kingfisher Shopping Centre said: "If you're looking for Poke-stops in the centre, we have plenty. Come along and try to catch them all."

The new game has become a global hit last week, with millions of users all over the world getting together to hunt the virtual monsters.

Users 'catch' the digital creatures and train them in battle, following the style of the hit 1990s videogames and TV show.
