Records for Crimestoppers

By: Natasha Burling | Latest Crime News | Saturday February 4 2012 16:46

 

Crimestoppers has received 21,000 calls since it started operating 28 months ago.

The service takes anonymous calls about crime.

Chief executive Lou Gardiner says a third of those calls have been helpful to police investigations.

The call centre handled 1,097 calls in December - a new monthly record. One 1,085 calls were received in January, with the highest number of calls with actionable information - 352.

Sixty percent of calls are from people concerned about drugs, with dishonesty offences next, then information on wanted people, traffic offences and illegal possession of weapons.
