Show Notes
The UK Government is committed to cracking down on mobile phone thefts, after a significant spike in incidents.
New data shows at least 80,000 people have had their phones snatched out of their hands - with only one percent of these cases resulting in arrest.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says the police can't arrest their way out of this epidemic, so manufacturers have been enlisted to build on anti-theft technology.
