Police Review CCTV in McSweeney Phone Theft Case

Metropolitan Police re-examining CCTV footage from Belgrave Road in Pimlico, where Morgan McSweeney, then PMs chief of staff, reported his government phone stolen last October. Initial case not pursued due to lack of leads, street name mix-up, and McSweeney not highlighting security risks. Tories accuse government of cover-up, demanding explanations at PMQs. Phone wiped remotely, replaced next day, with Cabinet Office holding records of some messages. McSweeney resigned last month, taking responsibility for Mandelsons appointment. Police attempted to contact McSweeney twice with no response.
