An estimated 78,000 people, or more than 200 a day, had their phones or bags stolen in the year leading up to March 2024, according to Home Office analysis of data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales.
Police intelligence shows that the increase is likely driven by greater demand for second-hand phones in the UK and abroad.

That's why i insist on using two yoghurt pots and a piece of string to make my calls
Someone stole my yoghurt pots
Empty yoghurt pots
like on Dad's army?. I'm one of the old ones the government hates.
@@equalitypeace1695 Yes :))
😂😂😂
Learn from Dubai, Arab countries & Muslim countries etc. where NOBODY EVEN DARE THINK about STEALING otherwise the PUNISHMENT IS SEVERE & serves as a STRONG DETRIMENT
Preach!
What rubbish. If that was even remotely true, those countries would have eradicated crime years ago. And yet here I am in majority-Muslim Malaysia, where today's news features a story about.... someone snatching a mobile phone
Sure "Adam" hahaha. Now let's get the per capita numbers on who's doing what
My iphone was stolen in Dubai, just ask the people who work there.🤣Crime is low but its still there.
It still happens their though it hasn't stopped a thing. Just made it more organised
The video thumbnail has a white dude grabbing a phone. Comedy gold.
@supreme_overlord
Anglophobic social engineering.
Chinese work with white people
The Chinese are smart they use whites because they are more trusted in public like your comment shows
So white thieves don't exist? My retail job says overwise.

Yet hardened inmates are due to be released early..
That’s one reason my phone stays in my pocket. If I have to take it out, I’ll go inside a shop.
Mine was stolen sitting inside a Greggs eating a pizza
Mine was stolen whilst inside of my pocket. They stopped me and forcefully took it.
@@User40919that's what knives are for 😅
Why China needs to stole phones, while Britain using Shein & Temu and providing them all the data with consent😄
It's a global crime network. The guy who fetch your phone could be any ethnicities or background, they send the phones to Shengzhen because they have a lot of IT people there who knows how to hack your phones, Shengzhen also have a lot of phone assembly factories that have any parts needed to replace, and then they sell it elsewhere.
It’s so typical of the UK to do this. If it’s not bad hygiene. It’s theft. 🙄
Just pessimistic u, crime exits in every society with many ranges of laws, imo to reduce, not end, this sorta thing u gotta tackle the root which is social inequality
give us the numbers on the demographics of the offenders then SLY News
We all know the demographic
@@cordawg1 yes and SLY must have searched hard to find the clip they used in this propaganda piece
@@cordawg1 Yep, white
Well said 👍
Why does it matter when crime is crime and everyone is effected? 💀 people are so obsessed with race instead of worrying about the world ending
Britain has made themselves a really nice diverse dystopia. Congratulations to the old blighty and their government for all the work they've done to make it happen.
Why do people just let the thief take their phone? Here in Finland, we speak in civil manners. No need for cowardice. Right?
This could be reduced to a few hundred if a certain demographic were not here.
Also notice the social engineering aspect of the video.
Shu+ yo dum az up, I saw a black lady getting her phone snatched by a white person at a bus stop
Yeah they commonly do it with apple phones because even though I don't like to admit it because I use samsung. Apple devices have far better security if your phone does get robbed which is why they resort to social engineering to break in
Highly debatable as a black man who’s never stole anything I’ve had an attempted theft on my Old Ford fiesta by a teenage Caucasian boy. Obviously he must have poor mental health as is so frequently the case…
Yeah because there was no crime in Victorian times etc 🤦
Heres an idea, stop wondering around constantly on your phone. Put the bloody thing away.
deal with the consequence rather than the problem, weakling
It’s just sad 😔 Really sad. People actually feel the need to steal phones. They will regret it the moment phones are installed with guns! 😡
Well, I can’t really say I’m surprised. British Citizens should be ashamed for letting their phones be stolen.. 😠
White guy on thumbnail now seriously get a grip were are the police do they actually prevent crime any more
White people steal phones too 💀
Usual pc nonsense.
❤😂
Yeah, white guys don't commit crime
yep, every single time
Look come on guy's, the cops have better thing to do, such as trolling social media looking for spicy memes and comments, organising police raids and arresting 12 year olds and pensioners. So please give them a break, they're trying to give the impression that they're arresting potential criminals.
Oh yeah, raiding cannabis grow ops and posing in front of the meagre loot while Theresa Mays husband owns a massive hemp farm. Yeah! Give the cops a break! They are trying their best!
This is one of the reasons i use a cheap "dumbphone" when i am out in public and my expensive smartphone stays at home.
The results of a Tory England…… what a joke
@wiseget Nonsensical statement…. Tory party conference material & laughable
The Tories were just labour driving at the speed limit Starmer just put us into overdrive and he's speeding directly off a cliff
Using the wrong stock photo there matey.
Less time on the phone then less chance will get stolen.
Any fast track, and quick justice ? What are the government going to do ? The public, NO LONGER FEEL SAFE
Usual suspects then.
CHAVS
The same types who unalived an 80 year old man,
Yep, white people
not according to the thumbnail of this video
We all know why but where not allowed to say
True.
What's funny is that all crime has increased coincidentlally(?) as migration has also increased.
Because ur too dum
@@Patrick-y4d1zthere’s a cell with your name on 😂😂😂it
@@Patrick-y4d1z The most crime-ridden area in the country (Cleveland) is over 90 percent white.
@@prefabmissing9380
The most crime-riddled area of the country is Westminster. Then Camden.
Not everything is about the US.
The worst unsafe capital and worst country to live in is London
Always keep your phones in a zipped bag or pockets if anything bad happens..
We all know why.
yep. but we'd be jailed for pointing it out.
But we can't say
The rich who live in the county and the Chinese gangs in china
Stop the boats.
Christ-are they stealing boats now too?!
We need more public safety advertising on keeping your phones safe. People quickly forget about the dangers of thieves.
Unfortunately, same thing happened to me last Tuesday when I was on my way home from the hospital, two blokes in balaclavas walked closely behind me and said they wanted to use my phone because they wanted to phone a friend. I looked at them in a very suspicious way because they had balaclavas on their faces and I was so close to them to make sure they don't do anything. At one point, they tried to steal my phone and I chased them all the way down the road and thank god, I caught them and thank god I got my phone back. The Police were so quick, they came in 5 minutes and the blokes got arrested.
I like to know if they have trained eyes to spot fancy phones, or they just stealing phones. My phone has no resale value whatsoever, probably a few quid. It's about 10 years old Alcatel model , it would cost more time and effort to remove the cracked screen, but I still need it to call family.
Very hard to believe that story
So England is the new Nairobi?...should Kenyan embassy issue a travel advisory?
It's not anglos doing it, the overwhelming majority are of sub Saharan ethnicity.
Copium lol
Sawa mzeee
@@codswallop164but not from there. Behave.
@bbuzz1687
Not from anglo soil yes and sub Saharan men yes.
Do facts wobble your diversity strength paradigm?
Stop being on your phone so much, look up and observe what’s going on.
Bravo on the thumbnail and victim selection Sky, well played 👏🏻
They are consistent 😂
The iPhone price tag is ridiculous. Around 1k for a mobile. Its ppl willing to pay that silly price. It's now a luxury item theifs want
They're iCloud locked, shipped to China to be taken apart for parts only. Hence why the thief was asking him in messages to remove the lock preventing anyone from using the phone without his password
They robbed my Xiaomi that I had bought like 1 year before for not even 300£... They steal everything
People would not flash their wallet about so why a phone,mind boggling the stupidity of people.
I'm a disabled man in my wheelchair. I've been 5 times attacked in London but police registered it only once. When write who did it they labelled me a racist...
The police are scared off the media, so they now pander.
I'm a disabled man going in my wheelchair. I've been 6-7 times robbed in London of my cheap mobile phone.
Police registered such incident only once. Why always they were black thugs?
Poverty creates crimes
London is a cesspit.
I live on the outskirts, takes me avout 30 minutes to get into to central London, yet i havent been there in years becuse it feels like ive left the country, i dont feel safe, im a minority.
I am so done with this country.
Just don't use your phone in public, it's really not that hard.
My feet go out to all those poor souls that are facing the brutality of the Law 😢
Cultural enrichment they call it
Stealing phones should come with a much harsher punishment in this day and age given their importance. It'd be like stealing someone's house keys, if not worse in some cases, and yet police are completely unbothered by it. They act like they care in the video, but go report a stolen phone to the police and see how they react. Most people don't report it unless their phone is insured and they need the report number.
City of London Police.
Happened to me last week in London and the police did nothing, case closed in 48 hours. I wonder how many dont even bother reporting
*Watch this without blinking*
Opens Eyes 👀
Oh, it’s still a Chav.
0:03
😂😂😂
The threat sounds too real.
“I’m going to destroy your life blah blah blah” “Blah blah blah”
I was in this situation recently. When I told the thief that I wipe my feet all over the screen. He sniffed it and then gave me my phone back. My feet always save the day! 🥰
A phone is like a wallet containing confidential information. I'd be terrified.
Fear of knife-men, bike thieves, and it is not safe to use a phone on the street... the situation in this country is getting worse and worse 😢
Explore ideas?
It’s really not that difficult. The moment it detects it’s not near the owner of the phone. It shuts down & wipes all data. It alerts the police and owner where it’s located. Ugh…
My daughter and I were stolen purses with money , bank cards and phone around 7-8 times in London. When When I went to bank to report it the staff told me the Queensway, Notting Hill where we were stolen are most danger place in London.
Justice!
👮♂️🚔🚨🏛⚖️👨⚖️📖📜👩⚖️🔓🗝
and this is why my phone spends most of it's time in my pocket. If i get a call or something i'll take on my hands free headset. Walking down the street staring at your phone and not aware of your surroundings is asking to be mugged.
Next WTF are people doing taking pics of passports and id's and keeping them?
Stop taking your phones out.
It’s wild to think this is happening on such a small island.
The difference between Japan and England, 2 islands, totally different worlds...
More cultural enrichment.
People are have turned into Zombies, they are locked into their phone SO MUCH they don’t see what is around them…….
Why can't these phone thieves get a job like normal people then maybe they could buy the latest phone rather then steal it from others
Stealing is more their ethnic culture
On a lighter mood, they need Mikel Arteta to educate them on awareness. But it's quite terrible to have your phones snatched.
Poverty means rise of Extremist rightwingers and crimes. Where as UAE has 85% Immigrants and it's booming. Tolerance did pay and in here Hate destroyed economy. We need to open borders like UAE for visitors. Soften up investments, immigrants with business plans and money, students and skills. Pakistan alone has investments of over £12 billion dollars in Dubai why not in the UK. We need to focus on UAE as role model and build more houses or test it on Scotland or London as a case study.
the news says that your information, bank details, accounts, etc pretty much everyone's whole life 😆
Perhaps cutting the size of the police force while the population got larger wasn't such a good idea. Oh of course, folk wanted their tax cuts, inevitably at the expense of our society. We now have some very wealthy people living in a crap country, but they obviously think it's worth it. The rest of us don't have much money and now we also have a crap country,
Always have phone insurance and a backup phone
Don't use your phone in public
can we change the thumbnail for the video so it's more accurate please!
This just shows weakness of the authority.
It's the people with balaclavas on riding on scooters but we can't say it.
Thought phones had trackers and blockers now??
Everyone needs to get street wise and not walk watching your mobile.... dont leave your wallet & phone in back pocket....
Government should band E-Bike period!
Disgraceful.😢
People just can’t stay off there phones. Enjoy the walk instead of looking at nothing important
That last person in the video standing in the road and using his mobile phone is asking for trouble.
Such nonsenses don't happen in Russia.
Time for lockboxes on phones
Not even delivery vans are safe not even the jolly old postman.
I wonder why theft is up
1:53 And what else are they, generally? 🧐🤫

After waking up to several job rejections everyday, I'm rubbing my jaw
Best thing to do not take your phone out while walking on the streets but people always want to keep talking deserves them right if their phone is snatched
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Damn what’s going on in the UK???
None of it's true, it's mostly insurance scam's
They want access to your sim, to reset your Bank log in
Stop walking around holding your phone. Get some ear buds and use your phone's bluetooth!!!!
Ohh… So this is why it’s so cheap to get my phone screen replaced in Shenzhen.
That’s what we have imported get used to it insurance will rocket next
Cost of living rises, crime will rise too
I did not report my theft.
Why has sky news used an image of a white guy snatching a fone off a brown woman, then a black guy victim moaning on, it's bull crap describe the people who are grabbing fones
Because your kind are gullible
Uk used phones taking popularity in African markets as well
In London it’s expected. It is a way of life now
Romanian's
We’re really diverse now.
Samsung should have kept detination as a feature.
My phone, bycicle and car got stollen in the UK too.
Actually both my phones ended up in Dubai not China.
These theifs must charged 20 years in prison,,,,what a person who loss his phone can do later?no Google map,,,no bank account app,,,no contact numbers,,,no chat
History,,,,no picture videos that is your memory,,,this is serious crime
Really sad and also scary.oh no
I do not own a 'smart' fone, I use a dumb brick worth £11.
Headphones as well. London is a sh hole .
We need stronger and stricter deportation. Non UK citizens born here can claim citizenship in their parents country of origin.
Three times in 2023. Nothing yet in 2024 because I work from home now. And then I joined a WhatsApp group, it's not only dominated by a far right men which was just funny at first, but also it led to me receiving scams, calls and texts. How to not communicate with any losers? Don't be in London and don't meet anyone outside your real social group online or offline either in or around London.
👆👆
The liberal brainwashing is real in this one.
Starts off with be diversity phone robbed and veers to "far right men" 🤣
I'm sure all those far right people love Indian scammers.
"keeping his focus on his surroundings"
