In England, a newspaper investigation found that London's Metropolitan Police closed 34,164 cases on the same day they were reported in 2017 and 18,093 cases on the same say in the first five months of 2018. Met officials say officers have to prioritize cases because of limited resources. But the cases closed on the same day included crimes such as arson, burglary and sexual assault.
