False Reporting

It is important for members of the public to remember that the reporting of any lost property to the Police as stolen is an offence.

Unfortunately, we have discovered that a small proportion of people are intent on making such false claims, usually in an effort to upgrade or replace their mobile phones. This is a serious offence and wastes a considerable amount of police time and resources that could be better spent helping genuine victims and catching real criminals.
