Out of the 32,788 burglaries reported in London last year, only seven resulted in a suspect actually being charged. Data cited by the Daily Mail shows the Metropolitan Police accounted for roughly two-thirds of all recorded theft cases in the UK in 2024. Greater Manchester recorded nearly 10,000 burglaries, while South Yorkshire followed with 6,694 cases.
The figures come as burglary remains a common experience for many households across the country. One in five UK adults have expressed experiencing either a burglary or attempted burglary. Because of this, the UK’s Labour Party remains under pressure to crack down on theft, particularly during the holiday season.
"It is hugely important to ensure your home is as safe as possible all year round, but particularly in the winter when days are darker for longer,” Matthew Harwood, home insurance expert at Confused.com told the outlet. “Simple steps like motion-activated lights, smart doorbells or upgrading locks can make a huge difference. This will help deter opportunist thieves who might take advantage of shorter days and darker evenings as a chance to break into a home.”
Survey data cited in the report shows more than half of 2,000 UK homeowners surveyed between July 25 and July 30 said they rely on outdoor lighting as their primary form of security, while just over a third reported having alarm systems installed. Cash and wallets were the most commonly stolen items, followed by jewelry and bicycles.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this year an interactive map of 36,000 neighborhoods that identified burglary hotspots across England and Wales, with some of the worst-affected areas located in London’s Mayfair and Soho. The area around Regent Street recorded 282 break-ins. Separate figures from Policy Exchange found that London’s West End accounts for more knife crime than nearly 15 per cent of the rest of the capital combined.
Several high-profile burglaries have also drawn attention to the issue. Among recent victims were actress Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright, who experienced a break-in at their £3.5 million home in Essex last year.

Import the turd word, receive the turd world.
Hey fools ... elect a Muslim to run your city and you to can enjoy this ... NYC is about to find this out.
Amazing. I read that, and I did not even bat an eye.
That is where we are going unless we turn it around.
That kind of non-action encourages lawlessness, because if behavior is not punished (like Somali Day Care Fraud) one, we see only the tip of the iceberg, and two: There is going to be a lot, lot more of it.
Two of the purposes of the police are to prevent crime, and to apprehend people who commit crime and put them into the legal system for prosecution and punishment.
If the police do not do that, what is the point of having them? There are people who want to do away with the police, and they understand the full impact of that rhetorical question.
If you want to know how civilizations disappear…
…we’re watching ours do it in real-time.
Brits gave the vote to muslims and this is what you get.
Tax dollars well spent.
Sounds like a lot of gov workers have well paying. Jobs where they have little to do.
I've been burglarized twice in the same house. The extent of the police work was to give me a case number. They didn't want to even respond to my home but I insisted.
They could only find 7 native born, non-Muslim thieves to charge?
EC
Another locality reducing crime the old fashioned way... By not reporting it. Crime rates go much lower when you don’t report the crime and you don’t prosecute the crime. Just ask DC.
The criminals well know the population has been disarmed - and if their victims try to fight back, the victims will be brought up on charges.
when you give criminals the right to vote, they vote for no police and for crimes to involve no punishment.
Here, we shoot them dead.
If you shot the burglars they would show up for sure.
Just like in America, if crime isn’t reported and prosecuted it “didn’t happen”.
And I thought Memphis was bad!
On the Rosie side, King Charles is encouraging unity over the holidays. He's such a twat.
This is even more insidious than that alone.
Do Bobbies spend their days eating donuts?
Or is it crumpets that they eat across the pond?
