A man’s iPhone was stolen from a coffee shop in Romford.

The 27-year-old had left the phone on a chair in Starbucks, The Brewery, on Tuesday, January 15, at about 11.30am.

Two white men started talking to him about foreign money and one of them placed a piece of paper over the iPhone – before picking up both paper and phone and making off.
