Karl McCartney MP has welcomed news that crime is falling. Crime recorded by the police in Lincolnshire has fallen by 20 per cent 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 Conservative-led 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, Lincoln’s Member of Parliament, Karl McCartney MP, said: “The Government is following an action plan to tackle crime and make our City a safer place to live.
“Crime has fallen by 20 per cent in Lincoln thanks to our plan and the hard work of police officers in our County.
“This means families are safer and more secure – and Lincoln can enjoy a better, brighter future.”
