Greater Manchester Police publish annual crime statistics
Posted on | July 14, 2011
“Greater Manchester criminals are being warned there is no place to hide as the Home Office published its annual crime statistics.
Figures show that with 20,000 less victims of crime when compared to last year, more arrests, more people being put before the courts and hundreds of years of jail time for offenders, Greater Manchester Police is waging war against criminals.
…
GMP officers also seized more than £2.5m in cash from criminals in the last 12 months alone, and through Proceeds of Crime Act Legislation (POCA) offenders were ordered to pay back more than £3.1m, showing criminals will go to prison penniless.”
