Dramatic Moment Police Arrest Gang Members over Theft of 40,000 Phones

Three men have been jailed for a combined 25 years for handling stolen goods, following a Metropolitan Police investigation into the UK’s largest mobile phone smuggling network.

After a year‑long investigation, detectives found the men were responsible for trafficking up to 40,000 stolen mobile phones from the UK to China in 2024 and 2025. The haul is believed to account for around 40 per cent of all phones stolen in London during that period.

The case forms part of the Met’s largest-ever operation targeting mobile phone theft, which exposed a supply chain of street thieves in London to international handlers and exporters.
