Metropolitan Police re-examining theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone

The stolen government phone contained messages tied to Lord Mandelson’s US ambassador appointment amid inquiries into his Epstein links, police said the theft was misreported.

  • The Metropolitan Police is re-examining the theft of Morgan McSweeney's phone, which was taken from a cyclist in Westminster in October last year, and have requested a formal statement while reviewing CCTV footage.
  • Morgan McSweeney gave the wrong location during his 999 call and did not inform police he worked for the Prime Minister; police recorded the location incorrectly.
  • Downing Street remotely wiped McSweeney's government phone and disabled its tracking, and the loss of the phone prevents important messages about Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador from being made public.
