Joshua Valente of Coral Windows who commissioned the analysis shared his thoughts on the findings:
‘We’re pleased to see an overall decrease in burglary numbers year on year, it’s a testament to the work that individual police forces are doing to combat the issue but that some areas have experienced rises is a concern.’

‘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.’
