Good work shown by ward officers identified two suspects who have since been charged with Theft from Motor Vehicle.

Issue

Our burglaries have decreased in comparison to last year during this period. We have seen that most of our burglaries this period have consisted of around half of them being suspects breaking into sheds and taking bikes mainly, sometimes taking tools.

Action

Our burglary hotspots will be monitored using our crime reports to work out areas to target, As well as identifying any burglary suspects. We will carry out crime prevention patrols in targeted areas and give out crime prevention advice. W now look forward to the days getting longer and lighter evenings into the spring. We will stay focused on our identified hotspots in the hope to reduce figures further.
