There were 930 fewer victims of burglary in Sussex in 2015.

This 11% reduction is due to Sussex Police’s commitment in tackling home burglaries as well as more robust sentencing for those convicted.

Much use was made of Neighbourhood watch schemes and the monitoring of people known to be prolific burglars.
