SOUTHPORT Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate Erin Harvey is supporting the Lib Dem announcement to improve burglary case handling as figures show that across Sefton, 76% of cases went unsolved.

The figures were compiled from a series of Freedom of Information requests by the Liberal Democrats, which have broken down unsolved burglaries data by local area.

Of the 828 burglary cases across Sefton, 625 had their investigation completed with no suspect identified.

Nationally, the official Government figures show that nearly 76% of burglaries went unsolved in 2023.

The Liberal Democrats have a plan to combat this. The party’s proposals would ensure that all domestic burglaries are attended by the police and properly investigated. They are calling for:-
  • A return to proper community policing, where officers have the time and resources they need to focus on preventing and solving crime;
     
  • Urgently draw up a strategy to tackle the shortage of detectives;
     
  • Set up a new national Online Crime Agency, to better protect people from online crime while freeing up local forces’ time to tackle burglars.
Erin Harvey commented:- "A burglary is a real invasion of someone’s privacy and it’s shocking to see how many cases are going unsolved. It’s clear that the government has decimated frontline policing for too long and that victims are being denied justice because tory ministers can’t even get the basics right on solving crime. The Lib Dem Burglary Response Guarantee would ensure all home burglaries are attended by the police and properly investigated and would keep Southport safer."
