Two bag thieves have been arrested for stealing a bag from a group of fans watching the World Cup.

City of London Police plain clothed officers, patrolling as part of the force's Safer City Streets initiative, saw two men enter a pub on Great Tower Street and leave with an extra bag. They were searched and found to be in possession of a stolen bag containing a laptop.

Officers located the victim who was watching the World Cup in the pub. They were unaware their bag had been stolen just 15 minutes earlier. The bag and the laptop, thought to be worth £800, was returned to the victim.

A 27 year-old man and a 26 year-old man, both from Algeria, were arrested and are currently in custody.

Keep bags close to you, secure them where possible, and never leave valuables unattended. By taking a few simple precautions, you can make sure the only thing you're talking about after the final whistle is the football.

While fans are focused on the England game, bag thieves are looking for chances to score on and off the pitch.

These thieves don't need many opportunities. A momentary distraction when celebrating a goal, ordering a drink or discussing the match can be all it takes for a bag to disappear. The last thing you want to do is to give them an easy assist during the World Cup.

VAR will be in used throughout the City and our control officers will be operating CCTV cameras from their very own Stockley Park, looking out for any foul play. On the ground, plain clothes police officers will be defending people from crime and tackling criminals.

Keep bags close to you, secure them where possible, and never leave valuables unattended. By taking a few simple precautions, you can make sure the only thing you're talking about after the final whistle is the football.

🚨City of London Police alert 🚨

We are urging the public to be sure of who they are talking to following a spike in reports of calls from ‘spoofed’ phone numbers.

Criminals use ‘spoofing’ software to intentionally cover up their real caller ID and instead, mirror the phone number of a legitimate organisation. They do this to make it appear that calls or text messages are coming from a trusted organisation like the police, banks or government agencies.

These scam calls may be automated, or from a real person. Their main goal is to trick you into sharing personal information or to transfer money.
