Helping to Prevent Mobile Telephone Theft

Mobile phone theft is a serious problem in almost every community in the UK.

You can now register your mobile phone to fight back against crime. This is a facility that offers phone owners a unique opportunity to tackle mobile phone theft and street crime in their community.

Immobilise.com is a website that offers mobile phone owners a simple, quick and cost free way to fight back against crime and to get their property back. The more people that register their mobile phones, the more effective the register will be.

A Serious Issue

The problem of mobile phone theft is not going to just go away. Mobile phones have been identified by the police as CRAVED (Concealable, Removable, Available, Valuable, Enjoyable, Disposable) items that are highly attractive to thieves and this will be exacerbated as phones become more sophisticated and start to offer users advanced functionality, such as the ability to pay for goods and services directly through the handset.

Why Register?

The immobilise website was launched by the Home Office in January 2005. It allows members of the public to register their mobile phone for free on the National Mobile Phone Register. The Register is a searchable, national police database that many police forces have already assimilated into their core investigative procedures. Owners who register their phone enjoy the following benefits:

• Getting your phone back: If you lose your phone or have it stolen, you have a better chance of getting it back because your contact details can be found on the Register;
• Getting your own back: By registering your phone and contact details, you provide the Police with an excellent starting point for investigating suspected incidents of mobile phone theft – there are already many examples of offenders who have been caught and brought to justice directly through the use of the Register.
