Mobile phone companies must have a role in ‘helping to crush’ robberies of devices amid an increase over the past year, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner has said
This represents a total of 57,174 mobile phones reported stolen and equates to an average of 157 devices stolen every day in the capital. "We all have a role in helping to crush the criminal market that fuels robbery and design out the ability for stolen phones to be used in the way they currently are."The meeting was about how the police, City Hall and the mobile phone industry can work together to reduce device robberies.
The mayor went on: “This meeting is an important milestone to developing a practical and long-term solution to ending the menace of mobile phone crime, which we know is driving violence and criminality in our communities – not just in London but across the UK.Sir Mark said the force made “multiple arrests and seized more than 70 stolen phones at a shop selling them onwards” over the past weekend.
