BREAKING Scotland Yard has confirmed that Morgan McSweeney reported the theft of his phone to them on October 20 last year They took down ***the wrong address*** and assumed the offence had taken place in East London rather than Westminster As a result they could not identify a suspect and the case was closed The Times has been told officers were 'too busy' to speak to Morgan McSweeney directly about it Having established the error following the report by The Sun on Sunday they have amended the report Worth bearing in mind that this was the theft of the phone with the prime minister's number, the number of every cabinet minister, sensitive WhatsApps, messages, emails… you name it. This was NOT an ordinary phone Starmer: “On Monday, 20 October police received a report from a man in his 40s alleging that his phone had been snatched. “The incident was recorded as having taken place in Belgrave Street, E1. “A review of the allegation, including a consideration of whether there was available CCTV, did not identify any realistic lines of enquiry. The investigation was subsequently closed. “In the course of responding to a recent media enquiry, we became aware that the address was entered incorrectly at the time of the initial call and should instead have been recorded as Belgrave Road, Pimlico. “Having identified this error, the report will be amended and the assessment of whether there is available evidence revisited."
