Chief constable cautious following annual report
The police's success shouldn't be based solely on the number of crimes reported to them.
The view of Chief Constable Gary Roberts, who's been speaking following the release of his latest annual report.
Almost 2,200 crimes were recorded between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017, the period the report covers.
That's an 11 per cent increase on the previous year.
The chief constable says the stats really don't tell the whole story:
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
The airline has blamed stormy weather for the delay
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
Boat was later used to smuggle £310,000 worth of cannabis to the Island
CRHS plans are progressing, insists education minister
It's hoped building work could start next summer
Emergency road closure in central Douglas
Diversions in place
