Crimestoppers has become an invaluable tool in the fight against crime in the UK. It can boast many success stories. In the year ending March 2008 it was instrumental in the arrests of 6,237 people who were later charged, there were over 81,000 calls to its switchboard with useful information and well over £13m worth of drugs were seized following tip offs.
The key to its success is an anonymous phone number 0800 555 111 that people can call with information about crime.
Crimestoppers also promotes Britain’s Most Wanted list – with photographs of those wanted for some of the country’s most serious crimes.
