New figures have shown that almost half of Britons have no confidence that police will turn up to reports of burglary or car theft. The poll, which was published by the Liberal Democrats, also reported that 54% of those over 65 said they would not be confident in the police in this instance. Further, it was found that 1 in 10 Britons said they actually put off calling 999 because they could not rely on the response. The Liberal Democrats have called on ministers to guarantee all domestic burglaries are attended to and investigated.
