A heroic police officer pounced on the phone in central London before the mobile phone came back to the victim.
Two simple policemen managed to arrest the thief, who was working in London at night, and arrested him on the sidewalk. The thief tried to claim “I can't breathe”, but was ignored by the officer who responded to “Shut Up Mate, I stole someone's phone, that's what is happening.”
The backup officers quickly arrived at the scene of the accident, where the thief was forced to sit on a piece of scaffold while the policemen were waiting for him to rob him. The shots, which were viral on social media, were praised by users who told their similar experiences with phone thieves.
One user said: “My mobile phone was elected from my hand in 2023 and I have family photos that were lost forever. I have no sympathy for the phone thieves.” Another added: “A good work from the police. Credit, as the credit returns – more of the presence of the required police in the cities in the United Kingdom where the theft is spread.”
The cracks come at a time when Met Police is trying to put an end to the growing phone thefts in London. According to the latest numbers, between October 2023 and September 2024, 66,528 amazing phones were stolen from people in London.
This has led the police to deploy new operations to track CCTV, increase officers awareness, employ traffic units and an increase in trying to help stop crimes. In November 2024, a 27 percent decrease was recorded, while in December, an impressive decrease was achieved by 43 percent.
The police were using bound officers and phone tracking data to try to track the phone. Despite the last success, Kaya Kummer Schwartz, Vice -Police and Crime Vice President, admitted that there is “more to do.”
She said: “The criminal demand for high -value mobile phones continues to grow worldwide, and I am clear that companies must go further and faster to make it difficult for stolen phones to sell, reuse and reuse illegally.
“We will continue to work with the leading mobile companies, home secretary, and meet the leaders to find innovative solutions to end the scourge of mobile phone crimes.
Success in processing the theft of the phone comes after MET moved from special measures last month, after significant improvements in many areas of service to London. This response includes more quickly to emergency situations and strengthening the police in the neighborhood to better respond to societies' concerns, including addressing theft and theft. “
