    Predictable.

      The "crime" is against the insurance company and it's up to them to report it to the police.

      There was a law change about 6-7 years ago making it the institution's responsibility to report crimes to the police.

      Most don't bother unless they have clear evidence of fraud as they know if they can find the person they can make it difficult to get any sort of insurance.

        yep like credit card cloning or bank fraud makes the crime figures smaller.

            JC VD seems to have a real sense of humour and loves to take the mick out of himself.

              They should fraudulently change the crime figures and then add one to the number.

                Try logging it here if you haven't already - rather than local police.

                      As an aside, does this apply to mortgage fraud? If so, you wouldn't know where I could find out more about this please?
