Several Mobile Phones Stolen At Derby Concert

Music lovers who had their mobile phones stolen at a Catfish and the Bottlemen concert at Derby Arena say they believe other gig-goers may also have been targeted during the performance.

Scott Groom noticed that his phone was missing a few songs into the concert, when he went to take a photograph of the band.

He initially thought it had fallen out of his pocket, but  after discovering a number of people around him also looking for their phones, realised it had been stolen.

Mr Groom called the non-emergency 101 number the following morning to report the theft, and was informed that he was one of at least 10 people to have called with the same issue that day.

Several gig-goers have also tweeted that they too had their phones stolen during the concert on Saturday night.

Mr Groom said:

"I rang 101 in the morning and said I wanted to report that my mobile phone had been stolen. The call handler said, 'Let me guess, was this at the Derby Arena?' and said that I was about the tenth person to call that day.

"I really enjoyed the gig but once the adrenaline wore off, I felt quite deflated that I'd had my mobile phone stolen."
