The Metropolitan Police has rolled out its latest weapon in the fight against phone snatching.
Officers in the Waterloo & Southbank Neighbourhood Team will be provided with tagging sprays, which can be fired at phone thieves, marking them for potentially months after the crime.
Snatch thefts have increased by 150% in London over the last year, with one phone stolen in the capital every six minutes.
