The Crime Squad's results since they launched
Burglars, robbers, and weapon carriers have received more than 1,000 years in prison sentences thanks to a single Kent Police team.
Since launching in February 2019, the Chief Constable’s Crime Squad has locked up offenders for 1,041 years, in addition to making 692 arrests and receiving authority to issue 2,066 charges.
In June 2021 alone, their investigations led to offenders being jailed for 67 years and nine months. Twenty-three arrests were also made, with 71 charges authorised.
Detective Superintendent Mike Worrall said:
‘Month in, month out my officers achieve outstanding and meaningful results which achieve justice for victims and protect the public from further harm. Securing 1,000 years in jail time, in less than two and a half years, is a testament to their expertise’
‘A large proportion of those imprisoned have shown a propensity to carry weapons and commit serious assaults on innocent victims, often to steal valuable and hard-earned possessions.
‘We have no tolerance for such offending and will always take the most robust, but proportionate, course of action available. This includes obtaining warrants and entering offenders’ homes to detain them and ensure they are held to account.’
