Mobile Phone Theft

Preventing Mobile Telephone Theft

Helping to Prevent Mobile Telephone Theft

Mobile phone theft is a serious problem in almost every community in the UK.

You can now register your mobile phone to fight back against crime. This is a facility that offers phone owners a unique opportunity to tackle mobile phone theft and street crime in their community.

Immobilise.com is a website that offers mobile phone owners a simple, quick and cost free way to fight back against crime and to get their property back. The more people that register their mobile phones, the more effective the register will be.

Register Your Mobile Phone Today

Registering your mobile phone is easy. Simply visit the Immobilise website (www.immobilise.com).

The immobilise website was launched by the Home Office in January 2005. It allows members of the public to register their mobile phone for free on the National Mobile Phone Register. The Register is a searchable, national police database that many police forces have already assimilated into their core investigative procedures. Owners who register their phone enjoy the following benefits:
