A British YouTuber, who is currently in India, found his lost iPhone 14 with the help of Mumbai Police. Phil Bland, who is visiting the country, has already been a part of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, has watched the India versus Pakistan World Cup match and is also enjoying Navratri. He took to his YouTube channel to share a vlog on how he managed to find his misplaced phone in just two hours.

In the video recorded by him on his GoPro camera, Bland was seen travelling in an autorickshaw to the Juhu beach. Upon reaching, he realised that his iPhone was not in his pocket. Panicking, he ran across the road and went to the same autorickshaw but his phone wasn’t there. One of the drivers even told him that it was “impossible to get the phone back”.

Without delay, Bland approached the police. The police promptly offered him their assistance and took him back to the place where he had boarded the autorickshaw. But, to everyone’s surprise, the police informed him that someone had turned his phone in at a police station. The cops guided him to the station where he reunited with his iPhone.

Bland took pictures with the cops and thanked them profusely. He even called the officers “best in the world” and offered his prayers at the Ganpati pandal at the police station. “Just when hope seemed lost, the Mumbai Police arrived as our saviors. Miraculously, they locate my phone and reunite it with me. In gratitude, we gather and offer prayers to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles,” read the caption of his video on YouTube.
