Burglary

It goes without saying that everyone should feel safe in their home, and it is important to underline that the great majority of the time, people’s homes are safe. However we recognise that burglary is a very traumatic and impactive experience so will prioritise not only the way we respond to reports of burglary, but the way we try to prevent it happening in the first place. We will combine intelligence led proactive patrols, targeting of offenders, crime prevention initiatives and wraparound victim care to focus on reducing the occurrence and impact of burglary.

This set of shifts our burglary patrols have seen:

- 4 males in a vehicle stopped and searched acting suspiciously in a burglary hotspot. Nothing found but intelligence gleaned.
