Britain's biggest police force is pushing the Home Secretary to force phone companies to make stolen devices harder to reuse as chief Sir Mark Rowley continues a crusade to make the handsets "unusable bricks".

Sir Mark issued an ultimatum in March calling on telecoms giants to take action to make phones less desirable to steal by making them impossible to reuse.

On Thursday the force revealed it has started sharing data with Apple to more closely track whether stolen handsets get reconnected to a phone network after they are taken.
