Burglary residential.

Issued 03 February 2026

There have been no reports of residential burglary in this area in the last three months. However, Kent Police continues to focus on preventing burglary through proactive patrols, crime‑prevention activity and strong engagement with the community.

Officers provide practical advice to help reduce the risk of burglary. This includes securing homes, marking property, and using alarms and CCTV to deter offenders.

Proactive patrols and investigations have also helped identify and arrest burglary suspects. Recent cases have resulted in significant prison sentences for offenders involved in wider burglary series across the county.

Local beat teams will continue to patrol areas identified as higher risk, providing reassurance to residents and helping to prevent offences. High‑visibility patrols have taken place during the autumn months to deter crime, increase police presence and support the community.
