A detective said "burglary crimes have reduced significantly" in Nottingham following proactive police work across the city. Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, who leads the burglary and robbery teams, went on to reassure communities that the "national picture is different to Nottingham" - and that burglaries are treated seriously by officers.
It comes after reports which claim that some police forces across the country fail to send officers to house burglaries. DI Berryman, however, said Nottinghamshire Police has dedicated teams who respond to burglaries in the city as well as the wider county.
Nottinghamshire Police shared that burglaries fell by more than a third across the county during the year to March 31 compared to pre-pandemic levels. "In terms of police not attending burglaries - that might be the national picture", DI Berryman said.
