• US border patrol agents spot two Canadian teens fixated on their phones
• The pair inadvertently walked southbound from Alberta into Montana

Two Canadian teenagers, unaware of their surroundings when they were playing Poki(C)mon Go, made an illegal border crossing this week from Canada into the United States in a remote part of Montana, US Customs and Border Protection said.

The two, who were not identified, were walking southbound from Alberta into Montana, their attention fixed to their phones as they hunted cartoon characters, when they were found by US border patrol agents on Thursday.
