Police in the City of London appeal for information about a man filmed stealing a mobile phone from a sleeping victim. The theft is shown on CCTV, and officers say the suspect takes the phone while the victim is asleep.
The suspect, identified in one report as Paul Langan, 58, is said to have admitted theft and was due to be sentenced in court. However, he does not turn up for sentencing, prompting the police to seek public help. The reporting describes the incident as “brazen” and focuses on the court failure alongside the CCTV evidence, though details on any further investigation or charges beyond the theft admission are not provided.
Overall, the outlets align on the core facts: a phone is stolen from a sleeping person, CCTV captures the act, police are now appealing for information, and the suspect is linked to an admitted theft and a missed sentencing hearing.
