The chair of the City of London Police Authority Board has warned that fraud is “damaging the foundations of our nation” and the UK must treat it with the same urgency as street crime.

Speaking at the Police Authority Board dinner on Wednesday, City AM can reveal that Tijs Broeke told senior police, business, and political leaders that “security and prosperity are inseparable”.

“The scale of the challenge is stark. In the past year alone, UK businesses faced more than 8.5m cyber incidents. That’s around 23 thousand every single day,” he said.
