Sharp rise in domestic disputes during lockdown

There has been a 71 per cent rise in domestic disputes on Island since lockdown measures against Coronavirus came into force.

That's according to figures from Chief Constable, Gary Roberts, who's addressed the media at the government's daily briefing over COVID-19 this afternoon.

Mr Roberts also says crime in general has dropped by around half, and collisions on Manx roads have been reduced by around 85 per cent.

He adds the majority of calls officers are receiving right now are reports of breaches of social distancing.
