City Police are seeking to reunite stolen mobile phones with their rightful owners after recovering 24 devices believed to have been snatched in the City or West End on March 26.

The appeal comes in the wake of an arrest made outside the Bank of England on the same day, during which officers apprehended a suspect and seized a significant number of mobile phones.

Sonny Stringer, a 28-year-old resident of Islington, has been charged with nine counts of theft, one count of robbery, dangerous driving, and driving without motor insurance. Stringer has been remanded in custody pending his appearance at Isleworth Crown Court on April 22.

The investigation revealed that two suspects were captured on camera riding electric motorcycles, believed to have been used in the phone-snatching incidents. CCTV operators diligently monitored the suspects and promptly alerted officers, resulting in one arrest.

City Police are now urging anyone who had their phone snatched by a motorbike rider on March 26 in central London to come forward. They can contact City Police at 020 7601 2222, referencing case number 177793.

This appeal highlights the importance of community cooperation in combating crime and ensuring the return of stolen property to its rightful owners. By working together, law enforcement and the public can hold perpetrators accountable and uphold safety in central London.

Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to reach out to City Police, as every piece of information contributes to the resolution of these incidents and the protection of the community
