A prolific mugger riding a high speed e-bike who snatched mobile phones from 24 people in a day-long crime spree across central London has been brought to justice after being tracked by police on CCTV and arrested as he tried to escape.
Sonny Stringer, 28, from Islington, had already stolen phones from victims on Baker Street, Edgware Road, Cromwell Place, Grosvenor Place, Regent Street, Orange Street, Victoria Road, and Piccadilly in a period of just over 24 hours, when police were called about another theft he had just carried out on Blackfriars Bridge.
