Our achievements

We change peoples' lives every day by helping to make communities safer across the UK.

Information we've received has led to all different kinds of crimes being solved, from million-pound drug trafficking operations to the fraudulent production of bank notes and building society cheques. A caller to Crimestoppers even helped to identify 4 armed robbers who shot a policeman.

Since Crimestoppers was established in January 1988, over 113,000 criminals have been arrested and charged as a result of information passed to us. Without your calls to 0800 555 111 and your online forms, this would not have been possible.

Last year (April 2010 - March 2011):

• 8,264 criminals have been arrested and charged
• 90,868 calls to Crimestoppers with useful information
• £25,339,693 worth of illegal drugs have been seized
• £3,155,704 worth of stolen goods have been recovered
