Mobile phone theft in your area

I wanted to provide an update regarding Mobile phone theft, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Beware Highgate residents! There have been recent reports of phone thefts in your area, Dartmouth Park Hill in particular. Be alert to your surroundings, avoid using your phones while walking near roadsides, find a safe spot- stand near a wall when using your phone.

If your Phone is stolen: Call the police (999 for emergencies and 101 for non-emergencies) Contact your network provider to deactivate the phone, report it to action fraud to protect your financial details, use tracking app to locate phone and remotely wipe data to protect sensitive information.

Your sincerely,
