Thursday, Jan. 11, 2001 Card Crime Soars As Thieves Turn High-Tech PARIS (Reuters) - Credit card crime and mobile phone snatches soared in Paris last year as high-tech theft gained ground, police said on Friday. Growing numbers of crooks stole card details given out over mobile phones or on the Internet, pushing the number of financial crimes to 5,972 in 2000, corresponding with a fall in the number of street thefts. "We will only be able to stop this galloping rise in this new type of criminality by putting in place efficient security procedures," Paris police chief Philippe Massoni said in a statement. Overall levels of crime in Paris rose by 1.73 percent, with the 295,655 crimes reported last year hovering around the average rate recorded in the last decade. Armed robbery, violent thefts and burglaries, bag snatchings and car crime fell 6.2 percent in 2000, but police said they had noted a marked rise in mobile phone stealing.
