Most of us work hard for what we have; our computers, our laptops, our mobile telephones and other high value items, so getting burgled is the last thing any of us want especially when recently released figures show that only 5% of burglaries committed in UK were solved in 2021 and that’s not a misprint.
This means a staggering 95% of burglaries in 2021 went unsolved meaning that if you do get burgled the chances of having anything returned to you is almost zero with most attending Police officers simply saying; “we won’t investigate it”, “Here’s a crime reference number for your insurance”.
Between April 2020 and April 2021, there were a total of 268,000 burglaries in the UK, from which only a measly 14,000 were solved. By comparison, UK police dealt with about 32,000 of 342,043 burglaries seven years earlier in 2014-15. In that year, more than 301,000 cases were not solved. The data includes residential and commercial burglaries.
So what’s happening? Are burglars getting cleverer, learning to cover their tracks better? No of course not, the Police simply don’t see these as crimes worth investigating, I mean it’s only people belongings and the vile, thuggish, corporate stooges now moonlighting as Police officers here in the UK would rather fine an elderly couple £120 for sitting on a park bench during lock down or arrest a law abiding citizen for not wearing a pointless paper mask whilst shopping due to the government draconian covid regulations, all of which are in fact illegal.
In a recent survey a massive 74% of people stated that they had just lost faith the Police and no longer saw serving police officers as being there to serve and to protect with a majority of people saying that they now saw police officers as the enemy of the people and labelled them as corporate thugs simply carrying out the illegal orders of a corrupt Government, so with the Police not fit for purpose what does the decent UK citizen do to protect themselves and their belongings?
It’s now up to decent people to look after their own belongings and deter the burglar who has been given a free pass by the useless UK police force.
