The Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has taken aim at phone manufacturers saying they must do more to prevent thefts.

The number of people robbed of their devices in London has increased by 28% over the past year, with around 157 reports made to police every day.But the push came on the day LBC revealed longer call-out times by the force to respond to reports.At a meeting with industry representatives and the Mayor of London, Sir Mark said not enough progress has been made by tech firms to deter criminals, saying stolen phones remain too much of a ‘lucrative market’.

The police are responding to all crimes being reported - they weren’t in the past.“They’re trying to go even faster and we’ve invested more money in the call centre because one of the challenges is that the triage and passing on can take too long so we’ve given them £5 million this year to give them more support.
