Chief Superintendent Ben Mant said: “Burglary remains a top priority for Wiltshire Police and we have a dedicated burglary team which was set up in July to target prolific offenders and investigate offences.
“Burglary is one of the most impactive crimes that a member of the public can suffer. Your home is the place you should feel most safe and secure and somebody breaking in can change the life of a victim and their family forever. That is why we are taking steps to improve our approach to dealing with residential burglary.”
