In line with other central London districts, Bankside grapples with a significant challenge: phone theft. Anyone who has had their phone stolen knows it can be quite traumatic and, if nothing else, downright annoying and expensive.
Thieves look out for easy targets; anyone with a ‘weak grip’ of their phone which could easily be snatched. They are less likely to grab something off you if it is tight in your possession since that offers them too much resistance.
“Anyone who has a phone that’s out facing down with their headphones in is completely unaware to what’s going to happen – that would be the perfect target. The best people are those standing up with their phones in their hands – we don’t have to get off the bike, we just drive straight past, grab the phone and off we go.” (BBC Three documentary ‘Inside Britain’s Moped Crime Gangs’ 2021)
