Muggers steal phone then hand it back because it's too cheap

A group of teens who mugged a Croydon man gave back his phone because it was too cheap to bother stealing.

Migui Rowlands was ambushed by the group of youths who ransacked his pockets in Alton Road on April 9, but when they pulled out his £9.99 Sagem phone the kids were less than impressed.



Mr Rowlands said: “They took my wallet and stole about £30. But when they looked at my phone they gave it back.

“They told me: ‘we can’t do anything with that’. It is just one of these cheap jobs. In some ways I was pleased because it had all my numbers on it.”
