Hi @darus

 

The article states that “Call 112 if you’re not in the UK and you’ll be put through to the appropriate emergency service in exactly the same way as if you had called 999. Available everywhere in the EU, as well as certain countries outside the EU, such as Switzerland and South Africa, 112 is a standardised number that’s worth remembering if you’re travelling abroad.”

 

It’s uncertain whether calling 112 abroad will allow the police to pass the message on to UK police. However, you might want to check out this https://www.police.uk/contact/#alternative-numbers as it may be possible to report certain crimes online.

 

Take care!
