According to written evidence submitted by the Met Police to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, with an analysis of an industry sample of 4,000 Apple devices stolen in London in 2023, 78% of them were connected to an overseas network. Most of the devices stolen in the UK were sold to an overseas market to be used around the world. The vast majority are not being taken for parts. Some 22% were in Algeria and 16% were in China—the two most common locations of stolen devices.
