Immobilise

Buying and selling stolen and found mobile phones is big business for criminals; mostly because they are high value items, which are easy to steal and sell on.

Approximately 55% of people who report their phones as lost or stolen, cannot provide the phone’s unique reference number (IMEI).

To tackle thefts of small electrical products, Humberside Police is running a campaign to get people to register the details of their valuables, on to a free website, called immobilise.com.
