Neil O'Brien MP - pet theft

Neil O'Brien, MP for Harborough, Oadby & Wigston has welcomed announcements that pet theft will be made a specific offence by the Government.

Neil said, “I know this is something that has unfortunately affected some of my constituents in Harborough personally.

I am pleased to see the findings of the report and proposed actions to tackle this abhorrent crime, including making it a specific offence.

Dogs are not just pets. They are hugely-important members of families and companions for millions of people across the country and having your pet stolen is a truly terrible experience."

Fighting crime

One of the things that brought me into politics is a belief in the importance of law and order. I'm pleased that the Government are now recruiting an extra 20,000 police officers. There are now 332 more police officers in Leicestershire alone than there were four years ago.
