Dominic Raab bizarrely claims police don’t investigate crimes a year after they’ve been committed

Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab bizarrely claims police don't investigate crimes a year after they've been committed.

"The police have been very clear and will look back on any letter, but they don't normally look back and investigate things that have taken place a year ago," he added.
