Burglary

We will conduct patrols on foot and in vehicles in highlighted areas where such a crime has taken place. This is in order to offer some visibility and reassurance to residents. Where crimes have taken place after midnight, we can alter some of our shifts to conduct patrols to correspond to the times of when these offences occur, should there be an identifiable pattern.
