KHAN’S SHOCKING Claim: Mobile Phone Thefts Fuel London’s Knife Crime Surge
— London Mayor Sadiq Khan has drawn sharp criticism for linking the city’s surge in knife crime to mobile phone thefts. In a recent Sky News interview, Khan argued that despite a decrease in knife crime rates, the issue of mobile phone robberies remains significant.
Khan compared the situation with efforts made by car manufacturers to curb stereo and GPS thefts. He stated, “The biggest personal robbery is of mobile phones.” When probed about the connection between these thefts and knife crimes, he simply responded, "That’s because they try to steal the mobile phones.”
This explanation sparked outrage online. Following the interview, commentator Lee Harris posted: "After a few easy questions about #NewYear2024, Sadiq Khan gets grilled on his failure to address the alarming rise in knife and gun crime in London under his leadership. Even Sky News seems fed up with him! I don’t think he saw that coming.”
Khan’s controversial comments have added fuel to an already heated debate on how best to tackle London’s persistent issue of violent crime.

Mayor KHAN’S SHOCKING Claim: Mobile Thefts Behind London’s Knife Crime Surge Draws Fire
— London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has recently come under fire for his comments linking the city’s knife crime surge to mobile phone thefts. During a Sky News interview, Khan argued that while knife crime statistics were on the decline, phone robberies remained a significant issue.
Khan drew parallels to how car manufacturers successfully curbed stereo and TomTom thefts years ago through design modifications. He proposed that similar tactics could be employed with mobile phones to deter theft and subsequent violence.
However, his comments sparked an online backlash. Commentator Lee Harris lambasted Khan for his approach towards London’s escalating issues of knife and gun crimes following his appearance on Sky News.
