It appears so! What a story!
Caveat: I am not familiar with the details of this case.
"It is a sad state of affairs that gangs of inner-city youths have been allowed to thieve with impunity, in London and elsewhere, and the police generally do nothing about it. ...
Defence Secretary John Healey ... ‘We all know somebody who’s had their phone stolen,’ he told Sky News. ‘We’re not all the chief-of-staff of the Prime Minister,’ replied Sophy Ridge. Yet the question isn’t simply whether the phone was stolen, but the cascade of inexplicable behaviour that followed.

The Met Police took the unusual step of releasing a full transcript of the 999 call in which McSweeney reported the theft. Rather than clearing up the matter, it only prompted further questions. The transcript revealed that McSweeney actually gave police the wrong street name – Belgrave Street in Tower Hamlets rather than Belgrave Road near Westminster – meaning officers checked the wrong CCTV footage and, unsurprisingly, found no leads. McSweeney also failed to tell police he was the Prime Minister’s chief-of-staff, or that the phone contained highly sensitive material."
