Mobile phone theft prevention

Mobile Phone Theft – Prevention Advice 📱

We are reminding residents to remain alert and take steps to reduce the risk of mobile phone theft.

You can help protect yourself by:

Keeping your phone out of sight when not in use

Avoiding using your phone near the edge of pavements or while walking close to the roadside

Staying alert in busy areas, particularly on public transport and high streets

Using headphones discreetly and remaining aware of your surroundings

Setting up phone security features such as PINs, Face ID, and tracking apps

Not leaving phones unattended in public places

If you feel threatened, do not resist—your safety is more important than property.

Please report suspicious behaviour or incidents as soon as possible. Your information helps us focus patrols and tackle theft in the area.
