Attempted break-ins at odd-numbered houses were not fully investigated by one police force as part of an experiment to save money.
Leicestershire Police said the pilot scheme had had no adverse effect on public satisfaction or crime rates. Results of the three-month trial are being evaluated and could see it rolled out throughout the East Midlands. Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Clive Loader said he was unaware of the idea but would have advised against it.
Due to cuts in central government funding, the force has cut £33.9m - about 17% of the entire budget - over the four years to March this year, but is expecting more savings to be needed.

'Ridiculous and haphazard'
Eric Tindall of Melton Mowbray Neighbourhood Watch said: "If you live on one side of the street you're going to get the 100% support and services from our police force, and on the other side you're going to get what's left over.
"It does announce to the criminal element, that they can go down one side of the street not being so cautious as to what they get up to, but on the other side they are going to be more cautious."

Unbelievable!
I guess they won’t investigate castle doctrine at odd numbers either? Get your shotguns and crossbows ready limeys (or whatever you can use for self-defense since you are nothing but worthless serfs).
The DAMN Brits NEVER could DO ANY THING RIGHT! What a USELESS “Country”.
Meet the USA. Just a few days ago there was a PD that won't be doing patrols anymore to save money. They will now only be going out on calls. "Protect and Serve" went out with Sheriff Andy Taylor.
But how do you really feel ? LOL
even numbered houses are in the jurisdiction, odd numbered houses are not
Coming soon to America:
“Police no longer investigating crimes against white people”.
"Protect and Serve"
Intimidate and Extort
It’s England. If you deny the people the right to defend themselves through gun control, then you’re police are obligated to protect them.
To deny both self-protection and police-protection is major shirking of duties.

Peter Hitchens column in the Daily Mail last Sunday asked when will the police in the UK stop investigating murders??????
Wind your neck in.
How do you think this Brit feels?.
So stupid I thought the story was a hoax.
I know! Let’s just throw some more taxpayer $$ around. /s
Don’t look behind the curtain at the unions, nor the pensions ...paid by the taxpayers, given by the politicians, paid by the union and voted in by the same (rinse, lather, repeat)
