Britain's biggest force has been unable to identify a suspect in a single reported theft from the person, robbery, burglary, bike theft or vehicle crime in 166 neighbourhoods.
This is the moment a phone snatcher boasts 'I don't give a f*** about what the police are doing... I ain't going to get nicked' - as new figures revealed the Met Police's shocking failure to tackle thefts and robberies.
A series of videos over recent months have shown gangs of muggers on e-bikes and mopeds snatching phones off unsuspecting London pedestrians - prompting fears criminals increasingly have free reign of the capital's streets. Dispatches heard insider testimony from an international criminal network that is making between £12,000 and £15,000 a month selling stolen phones to Chinese businesses, where they are sold to be stripped for parts or unlocked for resale.
Dispatches found 300 bike thefts had gone unsolved over three years in one 250 yard area around Cambridge rail station.

He denied knowing it was stolen.
The brazen theft happened on June 6 on a busy road near Tavistock Square in Marylebone, central London, just a short distance from Euston Station and the British Museum. The thief slows down as he approaches them before he snatches the phone out of a young woman's hands and speeds off. High-profile businessman Devin Narang used a summit with Labour's shadow foreign secretary David Lammy earlier this year to warn that Indian executives are putting off visiting London due to their fears about falling victim to crime.
Earlier this year a video showed a cyclist dressed all in black ride up to a group of people standing near the Curzon cinema on Shaftesbury Avenue in London's West End
