Young people in Croydon are being encouraged to register and 'immobilise' their valuables.
By registering possesions on immobilise.com police are able to easily identify stolen items and return them to the owner.
Officers will be by the escalators near Costa Coffee in the Whitgift centre from 3pm to 6pm on Monday Ocotber 17 to Friday October 21 to assist with registering items.
They will also be available to security mark bicycles outside the main entrance of the Whitgift centre on North End and will be visiting Croydon secondary schools to help students register on the site.
If your phone is stolen report it to police immediately or inform your network provider who can block your phone.
You can also block your phone by calling 08701 123 123.
