This is standard for burglaries worldwide, isn’t it? Many burglaries are committed by a small amount of prolific offenders and when they are caught it’s impossible to attribute all their previous crimes back to them?
😬
Fingerprints? DNA? CCTV of a burglar’s face? If not, it’s unsolved.
We don’t have the funding to do more than that.
There’s your new job idea sorted.
Surprised it’s as little as that, I’d have guessed north of 9/10…
I bet this stat is quite similar for any petty crime. Bike theft for example the met essentially just laugh at
Reported burglaries? The only reason to even bother reporting them is for reference for your insurers! If you don’t have contents insurance it’s not even worth the phone call lol
Ex police here. If you wear a mask and gloves you will get away with any petty crime. Bonus points for cloning your vehicle and leaving your phone at home. You will get away with anything besides murder most likely.
I mean what do you expect, Kojak leading a team of detectives to try and recover your TV and laptop? Police are thin on the ground and it just isn’t worth it.
they should stop releasing these statistics so that less people are encouraged to burgle. im not a burglar and even im tempted to try it now
You want to stop burglaries?
Secure your home well enough that it would take them longer to get inside and out before police arrive.
Burglars know the game and won’t even try if your home is secure enough
