Shoppers on Oxford Street have called the street sticker warning people of phone snatchers a 'joke' and believe higher police presence on the busy road would be a more effective deterrent.
The purple sticker is an initiative by Curry's to remind people to be mindful of using their phones on theft hotspot where one phone is snatched every 15 minutes.
It features a graphic of a hand holding a mobile phone and the slogan 'Mind the Grab' and is positioned in front of Curry's and Miniso.
One man, who asked to remain anonymous, told Daily Mail: 'The fact Curry’s have had to put this sticker outside is a joke.
'The police don’t care, they’d rather be separating peaceful protesters or escorting migrants to hotels.
