Adrian Leppard, commissioner of U.K.'s City of London Police, has said that although traditional crimes have been decreasing, financial crimes are on the rise, reported Telegraph.co.uk.
Criminals are drawn to cybercrime as it is a "low-risk, high yield" offence, Mr. Leppard said.
"We estimate that around 25% of the organized crime groups in this country are now involved in financial crime in one shape or another," said Mr. Leppard.
International criminals are increasingly giving up drug dealing and other high risk rackets in favor of cybercrime, added Mr. Leppard.
