British actor Susan Hampshire, 87, has phone and purse stolen in tube mugging incident

‘I wish I’d put my money in my bra,’ said 87-year-old Emmy-winning actor



Susan Hampshire, an 87-year-old British actor, had her phone and purse stolen during a mugging on the London Underground. Speaking at a recent event, she humorously remarked, "I wish I’d put my money in my bra." The incident highlights a rise in crime on the Tube, with a 13% increase in crimes reported last year, particularly on the Central and Northern lines. Mobile phone thefts have surged, with nearly three-quarters of such crimes occurring in London over the past five years. The Met Police have seized over 1,000 stolen phones and arrested 230 individuals in a recent crackdown. Hampshire, a three-time Emmy Award winner known for roles in *The Forsyte Saga* and *Monarch of the Glen*, began her acting career as a child in 1947.
