The Home Office recently noted in their report, "Reducing Mobile Phone Theft and Improving Security" that almost 100,000 mobile thefts took place in London in the year 2012/13. In the period between 1 August 2012 and 5 January 2014, over 50% of all phones stolen in London were Apple iPhones. What steps are you and the Metropolitan Police Service taking to tackle this crime, which remains prevalent?
