"Police in some areas of Britain have “increased the number of crimes they decided not to investigate” during the coronavirus pandemic, a watchdog has revealed.
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary warned that victims were being affected by potentially “worrying” changes, which come as the proportion of recorded crimes charged stands at a record low of 7 per cent."
