Mobile phone crime blitz launched
A nationwide crackdown on mobile phone crime was launched in December with the creation of special police unit.
Latest figures show half of all street crime now involves mobile phone theft. Nearly 200 are stolen in England and Wales every day, mostly in London, and many are exported by gangs to Africa, Asia and Europe. The £1 m National Mobile Phone Crime Unit will bring together immigration, Customs and Excise and police officers with industry experts. Senior police officers say, if successful, the unit could make a “significant” impact on the UK’s robbery problem.
Mobile phone networks have recently made advances in anti-crime measures, with all stolen phones now capable of being blocked for use in Britain. Tough penalties are also in place for criminals who seek to re-programme handsets.
However, Scotland Yard’s Commander John Yates, who is in charge of the unit, said it was believed the “epidemic” of mobile phone theft across Britain was still being fuelled by an international market. Handsets taken abroad do not need re-programming and, while British customers are offered cheap phones as an incentive to sign up with networks, users abroad enjoy inexpensive calls but have to pay foe handsets costing up to £800 each.
“This is all speculative at the moment,” said Cmndr Yates, “the aim of the unit is to find out what is generating mobile phone theft and what we can do to combat it”. He added there were some extremely organized gangs, particularly being burglaries on retail outlets.
As part of the new initiative police hope to get industry co-operation to set up an international database to make all stolen handsets useless whatever their destination. Information gathered by the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit about how criminals operate will be passed to all law enforcement agencies and police forces across the UK.
