"Mobile phone theft reaches highest recorded level in London...
"A significant proportion of mobiles are stolen by gang members on electric bikes who grab devices out of the hands of unsuspecting pedestrians, speeding off before anything can be done.
One recent victim was Lady Victoria Hervey, who had her phone stolen in Pimlico after attending a London Fashion Week event.
"The socialite described how a man on an e-bike snatched it from her. “It was such a shock,” she said.
"Hervey, who is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, had only recently moved back to London from Los Angeles after living there for 20 years. The theft terrified her so much that she was said to be considering moving back to the US."
They are apparently shipped in quantity to China and Nigeria to be wipes and resold.
