Police body report says UK needs "e-crime hubs"

E-crime victims in the UK are confused as to where they should report such crimes.

According to a report by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), the UK lacks a central reporting point for online crime, leaving victims "often uncertain about how, and to whom, they should report an e-crime incident". The report suggests creating regional e-crime hubs to deal with the problem.
