Woman's search for 'hero' who chased down phone snatcher outside London Waterloo
A mum is desperately searching for the 'hero' who chased down and fought a phone snatcher to get her stolen mobile back. Andrea Klinkenberg, 38, was walking outside of Waterloo Station on Thursday night when a man riding an e-bike rammed into her side. The thief made her trip up, before snatching her phone out of her hands and speeding away. Andrea told Metro: 'I tried running after him, and kept shouting 'somebody stop him' to anyone nearby. 'I gave up chasing him after he rode through a busy road, and I thought my phone was gone. 'When I was on the train home, I was sat there crying and no one asked me if I was okay. In that moment it felt like there was no good people left.' Email or webnews@ But once Andrea managed to return to her home in Woking, her husband, who was sat waiting by the door, revealed her phone has been found. Police told the couple a member of the public, named Fadil, had fought off the snatcher to get her phone back. But at that point, Andrea had given up chase and went to catch her train home. She said: 'When I found out someone fought for me phone, I suddenly felt so much hope.

Police only provided Andrea with Fadil's first name and his phone number with one digit missing. But she has not given up hope on finding him, and is desperate to tell him how grateful she is. She said: 'I just want to say thank you. When I was sat on the train home, I felt completely hopeless and my privacy had been fully invaded. 'There is still hope in the world, and I want to tell Fadil how thankful I am.' The Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment. Some 78,000 people had phones or bags stolen from them on British streets in the year to March 2024. That is a rise of more than 150% on the 31,000 'snatch thefts' in the 12 months before, according to data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales. Figures also show that four in five police investigations were closed before a suspect was even found and just 0.8% of 'theft from the person' complaints resulted in a charge. The government has pledged to crackdown on the scourge, with the Home Office saying it will work more closely with tech firms and police chiefs.

High-risk arrest turns deadly
In the aftermath: Police conducting an investigation at the scene of the shootout in a condominium car park in Nilai. — Bernama NILAI: Two men, who were active in robbery, extortion and drug trafficking, were killed in a shootout with the police at the car park of a condominium here. The suspects, aged 29 and 40, were tracked down at the condominium by a team from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bukit Aman and Negri Sembilan at about 10pm on Thursday in an operation codenamed 'Ops Api 3'. Bukit Aman deputy CID director Deputy Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus said the CID team attempted to apprehend the suspects but they opened fire, forcing the police to act in self-defence. 'Both men died at the scene. One of the suspects had a semi-auto pistol while the other had a revolver,' he said. The suspects were part of an armed robbery gang active in house break-in as well as robbing factories and courier companies in Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Perak. 'We believe both of them are connected to last month's armed robbery at a courier company's collection and operation hub in Klang. 'The 29-year-old suspect had a record for 11 criminal offences while his accomplice, aged 40, had a record for 76 offences. 'Investigation also showed that the older suspect was the gang leader,' said DCP Fadil. Police vehicles were damaged during the shootout but none of the police personnel were injured. 'We are not ruling out the possibility that both suspects were also members of an underworld group based on their use of firearms and involvement in drug trafficking. 'We believe the condominium is one of their transit or safe houses. We have also identified other similar locations,' he said. DCP Fadil said they will continue tracking down remnants of the robbery gang to recover the stolen loot. However, he could not elaborate further to avoid jeopardising the investigation. Earlier at 4.15am on Thursday, in a separate case, a 35-year-old man, believed to have been part of another robbery gang, was shot dead in Bayan Lepas, Penang. Police believe they have solved 25 cases of armed robbery, house break-in and theft at self-service launderettes following the death of the suspect. The suspect is believed to be part of a group responsible for the crime spree, which resulted in losses estimated at RM500,000. Following the morning shootout, eight other people, including a woman, were picked up at several locations across the state.
