Real Housewife's Crime Fight: Phone Snatch to Hack Attempts

Amanda Cronin, a star of The Real Housewives of London, has detailed her harrowing experiences with crime in the capital, including a recent iPhone 15 theft by a hooded e-bike assailant. This incident occurred near her Belgravia residence, highlighting a surge in overall crime in London. Cronin, who moved to the city in the early 90s, expressed her love for London but acknowledged the need for increased safety measures, drawing parallels to a New York-style approach to deterring 'lesser crime' such as phone snatching.

Beyond the phone theft, Cronin revealed a history of security breaches, having faced multiple attempted car thefts and a disturbing hacking attempt on her Coutts private banking account. She recounted waking up to an unauthorized login attempt, which led her to cease e-banking. These experiences have prompted her to take precautions, like ordering a strap to secure her phone, and to avoid wearing valuable watches due to the prevalence of watch-related crimes.
