YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Government's new crime-mapping website crashed within hours of being launched after attracting 300-thousand hits a minute.

Up to 18 million hits an hour froze the site, designed to give people the information they need to hold their local police to account.

There were also issues about the way the site's information was collected but the Home Office says it's working hard to iron out the problems.

Sky's Mike McCarthy reports.
