  1. about time, many years late, why they didn’t do it earlier? The mayor is to blame.

  2. 230 arrested. They probably planned this for a while. They planted phones with trackers to see where they end up and what hands/premises they went through.

  3. Give them no quarter

  4. This is the best headline I could have read in 2018. 

  5. I’ll see if there’s fewer Covid concerned cyclists in the Holborn / Gower street area from tomorrow…

  6. The relief I feel knowing this and my most recent experience.

  7. It’s the courts that need to launch heavier deterrent sentences

  8. Prisons are full so I guess we just got 230 volunteers for the Ukrainian front line! 🙌 

  9. How do they plan on stopping the next generation of thieves, phonesnatchers, and drug addicts. Otherwise, this is all a con, again, for headlines.

  10. How do they find people to do the interviews? I had my phone snatched out of my hand in 2021 in Aldgate just as I logged into my bank. I didn’t contact the guardian.
