People claim London crime is rising because it suits them, Met commander says | London
A senior police commander claims that London has become more dangerous despite the crime figures that show that it was done because it is suitable for some people.
Reform British leader Nigel Farage and right -wing commentators have tried to describe it as a “unlawful ğı city where high -valuable individuals have escaped.
However, Andrew Featherstone, a commander of the Met police, said that the data decreased 13% in the robbery this year, because 40% of the phones stolen in London have been dismantled.
Featherstone asked about the perceptions that London has become insecure and said that he was “no doubt” that he was suitable for “some people, organizations and others” to argue that the situation was like this.
“When you look at the real facts, that’s not true, Scot said Scotland, pioneering the fight against the theft of telephone theft, and controls a pressure that can be presented to the rest of the city at the western end of London.
The theft in London is increasingly politicized and Farage made a series of controversial claims about crime levels in the UK in the summer. He said that one out of every three people in London is a victim of telephone theft-it is based on a fintech questionnaire of 1,000 people rather than the figures reported by the police who claimed that much less affected.
On Monday, Met encouraged his operation against telephone theft as part of his efforts to increase the targeting of volume crime such as theft, telephone theft and theft.
Following an investigation of about a year, the force said that in the last 12 months from England to China, a criminal network suspected of stolen telephone smuggling – up to 40% of all the phones stolen in London.
MET said he believed that London “significantly breaks the stolen phone market in an operation known as“ Echosteep ğı, where a box sent to Hong Kong last December was in Heathrow warehouse.
Normally, expert detectives to investigate armed robbery and drug smuggling have been brought, which led to the intervention of more shipment and the use of forensic medicine to monitor the suspects. In his 30s, two men arrested on suspicion of focusing on stolen goods in the northeast of London last month were accused and were detained.
15 more people were arrested in relation to crimes such as robberies and pickpockets.
However, power, iPhones, 80% of the stolen phones in London, including Apple, including the disappointment of telephone companies expressed disappointment. Featherstone said Apple could effectively create a crime in the past.
Uz We are having a disappointment about this. We believe that Apple has the ability to use certain software and technology that prevents the recycling of phones. ”
“The biggest problem is that even if a phone will not be recycled in the UK – Network providers will not allow it – this is not the case if it leaves the country.”
Featherstone said Metin’s “technology knew” because there is no problem blocking the phones stolen from Apple’s stores.
According to Di Mark Gavin, a senior research assistant of the Echosteep operation, the investigated group aimed at Apple products due to their profitability abroad.
“We discovered that street thieves were paid up to £ 300 per phone and that devices sold up to $ 5,000 in China have been proved,” he said.
