Current Crime Trends:

Following a recent increase in Distraction Theft type offences,
particularly in restaurant and pub premises, City of London Police ask
that visitors to these areas take particular care of their personal
possessions and to immediately report any suspicious behaviour. Operating
as a team, sometimes including children and often with poor command of the
English language, the offenders target mobile telephones and bags, using
various techniques to remove the items which include distracting the
victim with the contents of a clipboard or by placing a newspaper or
similar over an article before removing it.
