“We Have To Hold Political Masters Responsible” More Than 200,000 Shoplifting Cases UNSOLVED

More than 200,000 shoplifting cases went unsolved over the space of a year, according to analysis of official figures. The Liberal Democrats, who studied the statistics for England and Wales, accused the Government of “totally failing to tackle a growing crime epidemic”. The figures suggested 205,676 shoplifting cases were closed without a suspect being identified in the year to July. Only around 15% of 362,809 cases were said to have resulted in a suspect being charged or summonsed. TalkTV’s James Max discusses the figures with former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley and writer and commentator Candice Holdsworth. James says: “We have to hold our political masters responsible for this.” Click here for more from TalkTV If you need any help visit: #police #ukpolice #crime
