An study of crime in Brighton has lead to some interesting results.
Police have revealed that ten per cent of all recorded crime in central Brighton is in relation to lost or stolen mobile phones and handbags.
In 2006, Sussex Police received reports of 1,500 bag thefts, or ‘dips’ where purses and items had been taken from handbags, and 1,700 reports of mobile phones having been stolen or lost.
