What the petition asks
This MultiMillion pound Organised Crime is growing year on year, affecting peoples livelihoods & the UK economy.
We have already seen serious injury & threats with knives or other weapons during robberies, how long is it before there is a fatality ?
The Government must support Police operations

The Government must support Police operations
The Police have done the best they can with their hands tied behind their backs, this cannot continue.
Response times are often poor & without investigation
Stolen items are regularly identified as being sold on auction sites or 'Pawn brokers' both inside & outside of the UK
The Government must acknowledge this serious issue and support the Police further to deal with this organised crime.
People are losing their livelihoods. Insurance policies are now extremely high, or not even available.

Why it was rejected
