New Guidlines to Stop the Re-sale of Stolen Phones - March 2010
A new code of practice to stop stolen phones being sold to handset recycling companies is being developed by government, police and the mobile phone industry, Home Office Minister Alan Campbell announced today. Currently 90 per cent of handsets reported stolen in the UK are blocked within 48 hours of reporting. However phones blocked in this country can still be used abroad, and the recycling industry, which exports many handsets, potentially provides access to a new market for stolen goods. Industry figures estimate at least 100,000 handsets, with an average value of £25, which have been reported stolen to the police or blocked by their rightful owner are recycled each year. Now the Home Office, police and a range of phone recycling companies have established a forum to address the problem and are drawing up a code of best practice for mobile phone recyclers to stop stolen phones being re-used. Companies who sign up would agree to work closely with police and implement a range of safeguards, including checking handsets against the National Mobile Phone Register to see if they have been reported stolen or blocked. They would also provide details of any blocked handsets they are offered to police. Those who sign up to the code will be endorsed by industry so consumers can have confidence in the company they are dealing with. The code would be monitored to ensure they are being adhered to and sanctions would be taken against companies who fail to maintain it. Home Office Minister Alan Campbell said: “Working with the private sector has already produced some positive results in the fight against mobile phone crime and both government and industry are determined to see that continue. “By blocking 90 per cent of handsets within 48 hours we are already reducing the incentive for thieves to steal phones and this latest initiative will make it even less profitable for criminals. “I would like to thank those recyclers who are working with us to develop this new code of practice and would urge other companies to join this forum.” Jack Wraith, chairman of the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum, said “The industry welcomes this very important initiative on the part of the recyclers as it not only closes off an avenue used by criminals to gain from theft of mobile phones it also demonstrates that those recyclers who have signed up to the scheme are serious in their efforts to support the continuing battle against mobile phone theft.”
