Show Notes
Liberal Democrat MP Max Wilkinson criticizes UK police for allegedly decriminalizing mobile phone thefts, citing low charge rates. Despite a drop in London phone grabs, 95% of Met cases close without a suspect, with only 0.3% charged. Wilkinson advocates for a National Crime Agency squad to combat these crimes, following a recent Met crackdown that resulted in 370 arrests.
