There has been an increase in reports of burglaries across the NL61 area.

Issued 01 July 2026

Action taken:

There has been an increase in reports of residential burglaries within the NL61 area. In response, targeted patrols have been conducted in identified hotspot areas, particularly during peak offending times. Officers have reviewed incident data to identify offending patterns, with CCTV, house-to-house enquiries, and forensic opportunities explored where available.
Enquiries into recent burglary offences remain ongoing, with officers pursuing all available lines of investigation to identify those responsible and gather evidence. This work is intended to disrupt further offending, protect residents, and provide reassurance to those affected by recent incidents.
Engagement has taken place with local residents to provide burglary prevention advice, including securing doors and windows, improving property security, and the importance of reporting suspicious activity. Reassurance visits have been conducted with victims where appropriate, ensuring support and safeguarding measures are considered.
Beat surgeries continue to be held locally, allowing members of the public to raise concerns directly with officers, discuss burglary prevention, and receive advice on improving home security. Neighbourhood officers have also engaged with local communities to encourage vigilance and the sharing of information that may assist ongoing investigations.
This activity will continue through intelligence-led tasking, targeted patrols, and ongoing community engagement, alongside partnership working where appropriate, to reduce further burglary offences and provide reassurance across the NL61 area.
