Detective Inspector Steve Topham said: “Myself and my officers are keenly aware of the huge impact that a burglary can have on victims of these crimes.

“To have the safety of home taken from you can leave people feeling incredibly vulnerable and as a force we work hard to ensure that those responsible for such crimes are brought to justice.
