> The number of suspects charged for residential and commercial burglaries in England and Wales has fallen from 25,163 in 2015 to 11,271 in 2022, BBC analysis shows.
> While the total number of recorded crimes has fallen significantly in this period, it means the rate of charges has fallen from 7.42% to 4.23%.
> In two areas – West Mercia and Hampshire – forces charged suspects in just one in 50 residential break-ins last year.
Those statistics are scary. Essentially it has become a free for all crime. I bet lack of community policing and bobbles on beat has had a significant impact on this. If you can’t see the police even when a crime is committed against you, it means the criminals know they get away with it.
Imagine having to clean all that mirrored gear for the beeb coming round, still that mantlepiece thing is hideous
Either this article’s a blatant honeypot or the beeb is giving potential burglars a fantastic tip.
Looking at the first image, I literally thought that was Grove Street but with less people wearing green.
