Apple and Sony could be enlisted by home secretary John Reid in a bid to boost security features in electronic devices, according to reports.
A spokesman for the Home Office indicated that Mr Reid is set to approach the two firms in the next few weeks to join a summit that already includes a number of mobile phone manufacturers, reports Reuters.
Items such as mp3 players and mobile phones could feature more anti-theft specifications as a result of these relationships between the Home Office and manufacturers.
‘During the coming week we’ll be drawing up a list of other manufacturers who will be the best companies to include for the summit,’ the spokesman commented.
Mr Reid told the BBC’s Sunday AM radio show last week that criminals tend to ‘move on’ when it comes to stealing electronic gadgets, with security advances in one area often leading thieves to target other items, he said.
