Niall McNamee’s phone was snatched on the London Underground, leading to a £21,000 theft from his bank accounts. This incident has become part of a troubling trend, with train theft reports in Britain increasing by 58% from 2018 to 2023. British Transport Police have noted rising incidents, especially in December, while offering advice on protecting personal devices. Despite the increase in thefts, convictions remain low, raising concerns over public safety and the effectiveness of law enforcement.
