Victims of burglary and theft “aren’t getting the justice they deserve”, a new report has found. Less than seven per cent of robberies last year resulted in charges. RiaChatter reports.

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary found that there is a postcode lottery in how thoroughly offences are investigated. In more than two-thirds of burglary cases it examined, victims weren’t given advice on preserving crime scenes – leading to the loss of vital evidence.
