Bloc Party had a run-in with a mobile phone thief at their show at the Hexagon in Reading last night (February 5).
The police were called after a stream of fans reported to the venue's security that their mobile phones had gone missing.
A man was apprehended, wearing a wig, who was in possession of over 30 mobile phones.
After the concert the fans were kept back by the police and returned their stolen phones. They were then invited backstage by the band.
