Give information anonymously
Your anonymity is 100% guaranteed. We are not interested in who you are, only what you know, so the more detail you give us the better.
There may be times when information received by Crimestoppers is passed on to our trusted partner organisations. Crimestoppers will only share this information to help keep communities and workplaces safe.
If the information you give us leads to an arrest or is of significant use you will be rewarded. See our 'Rewards for information' page for full details.
Information we cannot process
As we are not the police, sometimes you may want to pass us information that we cannot process. Please see our advice for passing on information about the following:

Crimestoppers is not an emergency service, so please dial 999 to contact the police in an emergency.
If you need to contact the police, but it is not an emergency, please call 101 from anywhere in the UK to get through to your local police force.
-
We are unable to take information directly from victims of crime because we operate an anonymous service. If you are a victim of crime, please contact the police immediately. You may also want to get in touch with the charity Victim Support - you can call their free Supportline on 08 08 16 89 111
