Mayor fails to combat spiralling burglaries

Data gathered by the Liberal Democrats reveals that 82% of burglary cases in Waltham Forest go unsolved.

This is above the national average of 76% and demonstrates the Mayor of London’s failure to turn the Met around.

Local Liberal Democrat Campaigner Arran Angus said, “The Mayor has talked tough on crime, but failed even to get the basics right. Far too many criminals are getting away with it and local people are denied justice.”

“Liberal Democrats are calling for a return to proper community policing, where officers are visible, trusted and known personally to local people.”
