UK police dismantled a major phone theft ring, leading to 17 arrests and a drop in London thefts.
UK police have dismantled a major international crime network responsible for trafficking up to 40,000 stolen smartphones annually, primarily iPhones, with about 40% of all London phone thefts linked to the group.
Operation Echosteep, led by the Metropolitan Police, began after a shipment of 1,000 iPhones was intercepted at Heathrow, prompting a probe that led to 17 arrests, the recovery of over 30 phones, and the seizure of devices, vehicles, and cash.
The gang paid street thieves up to £300 per phone and resold them in China for as much as $5,000.
Authorities say the crackdown contributed to a 13% drop in personal robberies and a 14% decrease in thefts in London.
Police are urging consumers to secure devices and calling on manufacturers to improve anti-theft measures.
