Abbotsford police are warning about a string of cell phone thefts near the bus loop at Sevenoaks mall, five over the last week.
Typically what happens is someone comes up to you asking to borrow your iphone and when you hand it over, they run off.
Police say if you have an expensive phone you should avoid making calls out in the open and making yourself a potential target.
If someone does steal your phone the first thing you should do, after calling police, is call your cell phone company and get them to disable your phone.
The Abby PD plan to keep a close eye on the area and are looking for two suspects, both stocky young white men.
