New research into burglary numbers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland has shown which police constabularies dealt with the highest number of reports, as well as revealing which areas had the biggest change between 22-23 and 23-24.
Data covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland, analysed by Coral Windows, showed that Metropolitan Police dealt with the highest number of burglaries in both 22-23 (58,605) and 23-24 (59,923) which is a 2.25% increase.
The highest percentage change year on year fell on the British Transport police who experienced a 31.68% rise in burglaries, but also received the lowest overall number of cases.
Joshua Valente of Coral Windows who commissioned the analysis shared his thoughts on the findings:
"At a time when there is more technology available than ever to help protect your property, from increasingly accessible camera technology to smart locking systems, there are plenty of ways for home and business owners to make sure that the places they live and work are secure.
"It’s especially important, at a time when many forces have a deficit in the number of officers available to deal with this type of crime, that home and business owners take advantage of any developments which will help to make their properties safer."
