RIBBLE VALLEY’S most prolific burglars can e.xpect a visit from the local police as . part of a drive to further reduce
burglaries in the borough. Police will be visiting known
burglars at their homes at all times of the day and night to remind them their behaviour is being- monitored.. Uniformed officers will be overtly bothering the most pro
lific burglars, by following them throughout the day and night and filming their every move. Warning letters will be sent to
all known criminals and officers will also be carrying out additional patrols in hotspot areas across the Ribble 'Valley, Blackburn with ' Darwen, and Hyndburn. •. Officers are reminding residents
to be vigilant and to keep their..- homes secure at all times. Insp. David Mangan said:,
“Whilst burglary figures remain low, we tend to see a slight in crease over the summer months. “This operation is aimed at re-,
ducing burglaries even further by bothering our most prolific of fenders. Being a victim of burglary is .a traumatic experience which can have a lasting impact.”- . Anyone with information about
burglary can contact police on 0845 125 3545 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
