Crimestoppers Passes Milestone

A major milestone for Crimestoppers this week - the crime fighting charity has received its millionth call, rather predictably concerning a knife attack. The charity - which is in its 20th year - passes 136 information logs to the police every day and since being founded by Lord Ashcroft in 1988 has led to over 85,000 arrests. 750 people have been charged with murder, and over £100m worth of goods have been recovered and £150m worth of drugs seized.

Many senior officers have lined up to congratulate Crimestoppers on its remarkable achievements, including Chief Constable Bernard Hogan-Howe from Merseyside Police: 'Crimestoppers is incredible! It is a charity that stops crime and helps arrest offenders. It is such a simple idea. The police service has three ways to detect crime - catch them at the scene, forensics or someone tells us who did it. Crimestoppers help the public to tell the police who did it. Their partnership with the police service is unique - roll on two million!'.
