Devon and Cornwall Police shelved 40% of crime reports last year
Published: 9th Aug 2012 11:38:07
About 40% of crimes reported to Devon and Cornwall Police in the most recent year were not investigated.
Of 91,532 incidents reported during the 2011/12 financial year, 36,575 were not investigated after an initial assessment, figures published under Freedom of Information Act show.
The Police Federation claimed it showed that cuts were affecting policing and the force was failing crime victims.
The force said crimes were investigated when more information came to light.
