Do the police do anything about credit card fraud?

That doesn't make sense. Why would I go through all the trouble of filing a police complaint, chasing them to get something done, get the police to block and register the phones as stolen and hope that the Apple CCTV footage helps identify the thief/thieves!!

By your logic, pretty much all of this kind of fraud could be gamed - identity theft, cc fraud, stolen card details, lost cards, insurance claims, etc etc. I'm not denying that it happens but it's just a bit rude to accuse someone who has come on here for help, of the same.

Of course not: they're far too busy policing political correctness.

You mean stopping people using racist, sexist and homophobic slurs?

My point is that investigation of these types of crime are taking priority over other crimes. : The OP reported his crime and was effectively just given a crime reference number. If he had been the victim of a racial slur, this would have been investigated much more robustly. Just a reflection of the times we live in.

To be fair, the police have been working on the case, even though it has been slow and needed a fair bit of pushing on my part. As mentioned in my update above, they've identified the phones bought with the stolen cards and blocked+logged them. Still waiting for Apple to provide the store cctv footage.
