Protect your Mobile Phone
Thousands of mobile phones are being stolen
by street robbers every month and young people are especially
vulnerable. By taking a few simple steps you can reduce your
risk of becoming a victim of mobile phone theft.
What you can do to protect your phone:
By providing the police with some basic
information about your phone, you can make it more difficult
for a thief to use it. Please record the details requested on
this page and store them in a safe place.
These details may be needed by the police if
you report your phone stolen. The 15-digit serial or IMEI
number helps to identify your phone and can be accessed by
keying *#06# into most phones or by looking behind the battery of
your phone. This number could help the police to trace
ownership quickly.
