Stolen phones are being buried in community gardens, according to volunteers who keep finding them in their flower beds.

The centrally located Phoenix Garden sits just off Shaftesbury Avenue in Covent Garden, and has been home to dozens of stolen phones, which reportedly get stashed there after being stolen from the West End.

Volunteers at the garden say the thieves try to hide the phones in the gardens, which they retrieve and try to return to their owners or the police.

Since more phones are being unearthed, fewer are being discovered – indicating that the thieves are catching on.
