iPod spurs crime in London
Echoing a similar - which includes street crime and the theft of personal items - in London in April compared to the same month last year.... 'In street robbery our concern has been around the smaller portable pieces of kit - the new generation of mobile phones and iPods. They have different coloured leads, it is very obvious when someone is wearing an iPod. That is what is fuelling this.'"
