The Isle of Man remains the safest place in the British Isles to live, but crime rates have shot up by 9 per cent.
The Chief Constable has unveiled his annual report today amidst a back drop of cutbacks, burglary spikes and recruitment challenges.
In total there were 2,304 recorded crimes, representing the third lowest rate in 30 years.
It’s not all positive reading however with drugs still very much a major issue on Island with significant challenges controlling their flow into the local market.
Gary Roberts outlines why it’s been a particularly challenging year for the constabulary:
Specialist vans to survey Isle of Man roads next month
Great Laxey Wheel upgrades to see old ticket office removed
