Three true stories – the difference our charity makes

We make a real difference by helping more than 720,000 people who trust us to pass on vital information about crime each year - 100% anonymously.

Our charity’s guarantee of anonymity has never been broken. This small sample of crimes solved shows our real impact.
 
Please note that details of these cases have been changed to ensure the identity of those involved are protected: 

Firearms taken off the streets
Gun availability and use by criminal gangs has been rising in many parts of the country. Following a tip-off to Crimestoppers, a handful of illegal firearms were seized during a raid, with a man subsequently arrested and charged.
 
Risky abuser caught after years on run
The effects of domestic abuse can be extensive and lifelong and include depression, anxiety and mental health issues. A persistent offender who was a high harm danger to women had been on the run for many years. He continued to offend whilst evading justice. Thanks to Crimestoppers information, he was picked up by police and finally faced the consequences of his actions.
 
Concern over a pair of dangerous XL Bully dogs 
Residents on a street in a sleepy suburb were living in fear after neighbours noted a pair of XL Bully dogs that were behaving out of control. They were also aware that the dogs were being neglected and were unable to be walked safely. The dogs were seized for further investigation.
