'Medway Lib Dems say that pet theft is a crime, as our 3 local Conservative MP's failed to back pet theft law.'
In a vote on Monday 5th July, 354 Conservatives including Medway's three MPs blocked efforts to make pet theft a crime in its own right, and voted against making it a specific criminal offence. with stiffer penalties for offenders.
