Police have reiterated their advice to householders to ensure they take even the most basic crime prevention measures, including lighting up, locking up and hiding valuables out of site.
Detective Chief Inspector Heather Pearson who leads the force's dedicated burglary team under Operation Haven, said: "With the dark nights now with us, it's important that your security is as robust as possible. There is still time to get outside and give your property a security overhaul to ensure your home, outbuildings and boundaries are as secure as possible.
"We see an increase in burglaries at this time of year and have introduced a dedicated team to help prevent and detect these crimes. However, we need householders to be security conscious and make sure they make life as hard as possible for criminals."
