Sir Sadiq Khan has been accused of overseeing a “woefully inadequate” response to London’s soaring rate of phone thefts, after dedicating only two sentences to the problem in his upcoming policing strategy for the capital.
City Hall Conservatives said the mayor “has chosen to virtually ignore the problem”, while Sir Sadiq’s team insists he is “supporting the Met with record funding to redouble efforts to tackle the scourge of phone thefts”.
