The Metropolitan Police is dealing with more than 100 electronic tagging breaches per day in London, with the re-arrest of three early-release prisoners each week, according to Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.Sir Rowley said the force had seen a sharp increase in arrests linked to offenders released early from prison, as ministers attempt to ease pressure on an overcrowded prison system.His comments, made on LBC Radio, come amid concerns over the release of violent and sexual offenders convicted of violence against women and girls, including stalking and domestic abuse.A recent report by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation found that almost half of electronic tags used to monitor offenders in England and Wales were not fitted on time, with the watchdog warning delays could leave victims exposed to a risk of harm.
