Police abandoning burglary victims as two thirds of cases closed without investigation Police are failing to properly investigate two thirds of burglaries as forces struggle to cope with the rising tide of crime on Britain's streets.In the last two years the number of unsolved domestic burglaries has risen from 47 per cent to 64 per cent - while in some areas nine out of ten cases are written off without any action.After years of decline, burglary has suddenly seen a sharp upturn with more than 400,000 crimes recorded last last year - around half of which took place at people's homes. But despite the surge in offences, many forces have stopped routinely attending burglaries in person, opting instead to deal with victims on the phone.

Despite the article it is well established that Williamson had them dug as a work creation scheme during a period of unemployment. Funnily enough 50 years later after the tunnels had been forgotten Keynes recommended that during a recession governments should bury money and allow the unemployed to dig it up.I've been past the tunnels several times but never visited them, just like I never visited the Royal Pavilion over many years living near and even in Brighton. But have since.Tony
