PC Steve Fraser of the Matlock Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “Burglary is an invasive crime that can make people feel unsafe, cost money and inconvenience those affected.

“We are committed to targeting this type of crime and would also encourage people to help reduce the risk of becoming a victim by making sure that your homes, sheds, outbuildings and premises are secure.”
