Non-dwelling burglaries

Whilst we have seen a significant reduction in reported non-dwelling burglaries across the area, we have continued to carry out a number of proactive operations with our colleagues from Dorset, Hampshire and BT Police.

These proactive operations will continue as we head further into 2024, to disrupt possible offending and gathering intelligence where possible.
