Snatch thefts of mobile phones and bags rose by 70 per cent in a year to reach a 20-year high, official data has revealed.

The number of snatch thefts, where devices or personal items are grabbed from a person by a thief, rose from 58,000 in 2023 to 99,000 last year – the highest level since 2003, according to the Crime Survey for England and Wales.

Thefts from people overall, including stealth snatches, where phones, bags or other personal items are stolen from under a table or locker – rose by 50 per cent to 483,000, the highest rate for a decade.
