IT'S TIME TO END THE CYCLE OF MOBILE PHONE THEFTS
📱 Over 80,000 mobile phones were stolen in London in 2024 alone.
That’s tens of thousands of people left without their phones — and in many cases, feeling unsafe, violated, and let down.
I’ve heard from countless people, including fellow MPs, who’ve experienced this. I’ve also had my own phone stolen — so I know how frustrating and frightening it can be.
Too often, these phones end up in the hands of organised criminal gangs who unlock and resell them, sometimes overseas. And the companies who could stop this — mobile networks and tech giants — aren’t doing enough to help.
That’s why I’m calling for urgent action. I want mobile phone companies to be required to block stolen phones from being reactivated. I want tougher rules and real accountability so phone theft is no longer a low-risk, high-reward crime.
But I need your help to show there’s public support behind this.
