That’s according to a watchdog, which found around 95% of all offences were recorded in the year to March.

The figure is up from just over 80% ten years ago.

In Surrey, over 73,000 crimes were recorded last year, but many, including burglaries and shoplifting, remain unresolved

The police inspectorate says there’s room for improvement when it comes to recording crimes like harassment, stalking and controlling or coercive behaviour.
