Police bust gang suspected of sending up to 40,000 stolen UK phones to China | BBC News


Police said they have dismantled an international gang suspected of smuggling up to 40,000 stolen mobile phones from the UK to China in the past year.

In what the Metropolitan Police said is the UK’s largest ever operation against phone thefts, 18 suspects have been arrested and more than 2,000 stolen devices discovered.

Police believe the gang could be responsible for exporting up to half of all phones stolen in London, where most mobiles are taken in the UK.

BBC News has been given access to the operation, including details of the suspects, their methods, and to raids on 28 properties in London and Hertfordshire.
