By Martin Robinson PUBLISHED: 06:28 EST, 19 September 2012 | UPDATED: 08:41 EST, 19 September 2012 A UK town home to around 13,000 people has absolutely no police officers protecting it at times during the week, a whistleblower has said. Budget cutbacks mean Uttoxeter in Staffordshire sometimes has no-one to uphold the law and incredibly the force in charge says its strategy 'makes sense'. A whistle-blower has revealed two officers from the town are diverted to Stoke-on-Trent on Monday nights to help police their student night. Complaint: The whistleblower says Uttoxeter is being left un-policed at times because officers are sent to Stoke-on-Trent (pictured)
