Local MP Mark Pawsey has welcomed news that crime is falling. Crime recorded by the police in Warwickshire has fallen by 15 percent since 2010.
The latest figures from the independent Crime Survey of England and Wales show that crime across the country has fallen by more than a fifth in the same period.
In England and Wales this means that in the last year, compared with the year before this Government came to power, there were:
• More than 2.3 million fewer crimes.
• 160,000 fewer homes burgled.
• 290,000 fewer vehicle crimes.
• 413,000 fewer violent crimes.
• 962,000 fewer incidents of criminal damages.
Commenting, Mark said:
“The Government is following an action plan to tackle crime and make Rugby a safer place to live.”
Mark continued:
‘Crime has fallen by 15 percent in Warwickshire thanks to the Government’s plan and the hard work of local police officers.”
Mark concluded:
“This means families are safer and more secure – and Rugby can enjoy a better, brighter future.”
